Preparation and Storage

Background: alpha-Parvin

alpha -Parvin (parvus [Latin for "small"]-A/ alpha ; also actopaxin and PARV-A) is a 53 kDa member of the parvin family, alpha ‑actinin superfamily of proteins. It is widely expressed, and participates in actin filament assembly that precedes cell migration. Human PARVA is 372 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two CH/calponin homology domains (aa 99‑202 and 265‑369), two NLSs (aa 19‑26 and 38‑40), and a recently identified paxillin binding sequence (aa 248‑256). Multiple phosphorylation sites occur between Ser4 and Thr16 that are apparently utilized. PARVA is likely to exist as a dimer. There are three isoform variants of PARVA. All three contain an alternate start site at Met41, with one also showing a 21 aa substitution for aa 239‑372, and a second also showing a 46 aa substitution for aa 134‑372, respectively. Over aa 46‑133, human and mouse PARVA share 95% aa identity.
