  • recruited to early phagosomes of macrophages and dendritic cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • . acting as a link between the recognition of specific switch regions and causation of a DNA break
  • multiple functional signaling protein involved in formation of membrane ruffling induced by signal cascade of tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors
  • may be involved in regulating migration and invasion of trophoblast cells during the processes of embryonic implantation and placentation
  • regulates the actin cytoskeleton as an effector or adaptor protein in response to agonist stimulated phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate production and cell protrusion
  • F-actin-binding, Rho GTPase-interacting protein strongly expressed in activated B cells, that is necessary for normal B-cell migration
  • regulates integrin-mediated adhesion and cell attachment
  • as SWAP70 has been shown to be the last protein to receive signals from cytokines, it is likely that there is a putative feedback signaling pathway, and that disorder of this signaling pathway can transform cells
  • restricts spontaneous maturation of dendritic cells
  • SWAP70 and DEF6 regulate hematopoietic stem cells/progenitor homeostasis, self-renewal, lineage contributions and repopulation in a distinct and mostly antagonistic manner
  • key role for SWAP70 as a scaffold for tethering the peripheral actin cage to phagosomes
  • key role for SWAP70 as the tethering factor stabilizing F-actin filaments on the surface of phagosomes in human dendritic cells by interacting both with Rho-family GTPases and the lipid phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate
  • essential and specific role for SWAP70 in tethering and stabilizing F-actin to the phagosomal surface in a wide range of phagocytes
  • SWAP70 and DEF6-mediated restriction of dendritic cell (DC) differentiation converges mechanistically at the NFKB1 pathway
  • SWAP70 is a protective molecule that can suppress the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by inhibiting hepatic steatosis and inflammation

  • directly binds to F-actin
  • cooperates with Rac
  • binding activity of SWAP70 to non-muscle F-actin is required for membrane ruffling
  • important target of SYK in migration and polarization of naive recirculating B cells
  • Rho GTPase-regulatory protein that control both cytoskeletal dynamics and the activity of the transcription factor IRF4 (
