Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, also known as VASP, is a member of the Ena-VASP protein family. VASP is associated with filamentous actin formation and likely plays a widespread role in cell adhesion and motility. VASP may also be involved in the intracellular signaling pathways that regulate integrin-extracellular matrix interactions. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-343 from human VASP, fused to His-tag at N-terminus expressed in E.coli.
