EPS8L1 Proteins

Protein Information

Eps8L1 (EPS8-like 1), also known as DRC3 or EPS8R1, is a 723 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm and belongs to the Eps8 (epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8) family. Expressed in placental tissue, Eps8L1 functions to stimulate the guanine exchange activity of Sos 1 (son of sevenless homolog 1), a protein that promotes the exchange of Ras-bound GDP for GTP. Additionally, Eps8L1 is thought to associate with Actin and, via this association, may play a role in membrane ruffling and remodeling of the Actin cytoskeleton. Through its ability to regulate protein activation and cytoskeleton dynamics, Eps8L1 may participate in cell growth and differentiation events within the cell. Eps8L1 contains one SH3 domain and is expressed as four isoforms due to alternative splicing events.
