| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in heart and testis, lower levels in lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas and brain. Isoform 5 is expressed exclusively in the brain. Isoform 2 is expressed predominantly in brain, testis, ovary and fat. In the brain, isoforms 2 and 5 are expressed at highest levels in the hippocampus, cortex and midbrain, and at lowest levels in the striatum and cerebellum. Isoform 6 is expressed in brain and spleen. |
| Post Translational Modifications | NTN1-induced PKA phosphorylation on Ser-255 directly parallels the formation of filopodial protrusions. |
| Function | Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance and lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics in migrating cells. ENAH induces the formation of F-actin rich outgrowths in fibroblasts. Acts synergistically with BAIAP2-alpha and downstream of NTN1 to promote filipodia formation. |
