Anti-GM130 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Golgi Matrix Protein of 130 kDa (GM130) is a peripheral cytoplasmic protein and is a member of the golgin family of Golgi autoantigens. GM130 is an extended rod-like protein containing coiled-coil domains and is tightly bound to Golgi membranes.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human GM130 with an N-terminal added lysine, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse GM130.

Application

Anti-GM130 (C-terminal) antibody can be used in immunoblotting (approx. 130 kDa), indirect immunofluorescence (0.2-0.4 μg/mL using rat NRK cells), and immunoprecipitation (2-4 μg using Hela and 3T3 cell extracts). The antibody can also be used for chemiluminescent western blot (0.1-0.2 μg/mL using whole extract of rat NRK cells).

Anti-GM130 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• indirect immunofluorescence
• immunoprecipitation
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Golgi Matrix Protein of 130 kDa (GM130) is involved in maintaining the structural integrity of the Golgi apparatus and vesicular transport. GM130 also interacts with Golgi reassembly-stacking protein of 65 kDa (GRASP65) and participated in postmitotic reassembly and stacking of the Golgi cisternae. The protein along with p115 and GRASP65 might acts as a template in nucleating the formation of the Golgi apparatus. GM130 in complex with GRASP65 and other proteins interacts with activated Rab1, a protein known to regulate the transport of newly synthesized proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. This antibody can be used as a cis-Golgi network marker.
