General description
GOLGA2 (golgin subfamily A member 2) is a peripheral Golgi-matrix protein belonging to the coiled-coil golgin family. It is mapped to human chromosome 9q34.11. It can shuffle between cis-Golgi compartments and the ER (endoplasmic reticulum)-to-Golgi carriers.
Immunogen
Golgin subfamily A member 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-GOLGA2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GOLGA2 (Golgin subfamily A member 2) is highly involved in the maintenance of Golgi structure. The proper maintenance of Golgi structure requires specific lateral cisternal-fusion events. During mitosis, GOLGA2 helps to reorganize Golgi ribbons at a stable structure by proper distribution of enzymes in the Golgi bodies. It also participates in endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport and mitotic Golgi apparatus fragmentation. It interacts with and stabilizes GRASP65 (Golgi peripheral membrane protein p65).
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST75374.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
