Description

Cortactin is cytoskeleton protein that facilitates assembly of cortical actin. Cortactin is widely expressed in most adherent cells and is a prominent substrate of protein-tyrosine kinase Src in vivo and in vitro. The protein sequence of cortactin contains multiple amino-terminal tandem repeats of a unique 37-amino acid sequence, which associates with actin, and a Src homology 3 domain at the carboxyl terminus.
