General description
Farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, α (FNTA) forms a part of the heterodimeric CAAX farnesyltransferase complex that attaches a farnesyl moiety to a cysteine residue in proteins. The protein substrates usually comprise of nuclear lamins, retinal proteins and ras proteins.
Rabbit Anti-FNTA antibody recognizes canine, rat, human, and bovine FNTA.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human FNTA
Application
Rabbit Anti-FNTA antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 1.25 μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Prenyltransferases attach either a farnesyl group or a geranylgeranyl group in thioether linkage to the cysteine residue of protein′s with a C-terminal CAAX box. CAAX geranylgeranyltransferase and CAAX farnesyltransferase are heterodimers that share the same alpha subunit but have different beta subunits. FNTA is the alpha subunit of these transferases.Prenyltransferases attach either a farnesyl group or a geranylgeranyl group in thioether linkage to the cysteine residue of protein′s with a C-terminal CAAX box. CAAX geranylgeranyltransferase and CAAX farnesyltransferase are heterodimers that share the same alpha subunit but have different beta subunits. This gene encodes the alpha subunit of these transferases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
