ANTI-GBETA5 ANTIBODY

General description

The Gβ5 (GNB5 guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), beta 5) is a G protein subunit present predominantly in the central nervous system. This protein appears to be expressed in two forms, one found in the brain of 39 kDa and one found in the retina of 44 kDa. It has also been found that Gβ5 associates tightly with RGS7, a member of the superfamily of negative regulators of G protein signaling. These complexes have been localized to most regions of the brain, whereas G1-4 exhibit no observable colocalization with RGS7, despite their widespread codistribution throughout similar neuronal networks. This antibody is specific for a peptide sequence within the D1 blade which is not found in Gβ1-4.

Specificity

Recognizes D1 area of Gβ5.

Immunogen

Epitope: D1
