Map17 Proteins and Enzymes

Map17, also known as small PDZK1-associated protein (SPAP) is an endogenous regulator of cellular PDZK1 levels through the regulation of PDZK1 turnover. MAP17 is only expressed at significant levels in the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney, and is diffusely expressed in various carcinomas originating from kidney, colon, lung and breast. MAP17 is thought to be associates with tumor formation, and MAP17 antibodies are useful for cancer research and protein turnover studies.
