C-terminal Src Homology 3 domain of LIM and SH3 domain protein 1 Lasp1 is a cytoplasmic protein that binds focal adhesion proteins and is involved in cell signaling, migration, and proliferation. It is overexpressed in several cancer cells including breast, ovarian, bladder, and liver. In cancer cells, it can be found in the nucleus; its degree of nuclear localization correlates with tumor size and poor prognosis. Lasp1 is a 36kD protein containing an N-terminal LIM domain, two nebulin repeats, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
