It weighs approximately 35 kDa and plays a role in modulating fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling. Spry-4 is expressed in various tissues including the brain lungs and kidneys. Its expression varies during different developmental stages and under different physiological conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSprouty family proteins such as Spry-4 negatively regulate cell growth differentiation and angiogenesis. This protein functions as part of a negative feedback loop in growth factor-mediated signaling. By modulating signaling Spry-4 helps maintain balanced cellular responses ensuring cells do not undergo uncontrolled proliferation or differentiation. Spry-4's regulatory role is important in tissue development and repair.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSpry-4 plays a significant role in the MAPK\/ERK and PI3K\/AKT pathways. In these pathways Spry-4 interacts with other proteins like RAF1 and Erk. Its inhibitory effects prevent excessive activation of these pathways which are essential for processes like cell division and survival. Spry-4's ability to modulate these pathways determines how cells respond to external stimuli maintaining cellular homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpry-4's dysregulation has been linked to cancer and congenital disorders. For example altered expression of Spry-4 can lead to tumorigenesis since the balance in growth factor signaling is disrupted. In cancer Spry-4 often interacts with other regulatory proteins such as SOS1 which further modulates signaling pathways important for tumor growth. In congenital disorders mutations in Spry-4 or related pathways affect normal tissue development leading to developmental anomalies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850142863529,"sku":"ab59785","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab59785","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
