Anti-GRP75 (SQ-15) antibody produced in rabbit

General description

GRP75 (glucose-regulated protein 75) belongs to a Hsp70 family of the heat shock proteins.

GRPs are unresponsive to heat stress and are induced by stress related to glucose starvation or defects in glycoprotein processing. GRP75/mortalin has been localized mainly to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but also to various cellular compartments including mitochondria and cytoplasmic vesicles.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 665-679 located at the C-terminus of human GRP75. This sequence is identical in mouse GRP75 (mot-1 and mot-2 isoforms) and highly conserved in rat (1 amino acid substitution).

Application

Anti-GRP75 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in :

• immunofluorescence
• immunoblotting
• immunocytochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

GRP75 (glucose-regulated protein 75) is involved in stress responses to intracellular trafficking, antigen processing, and control of cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumorigenesis. It is induced by low levels of ionizing radiation, glucose deprivation, calcium ionophore, and ozone and its levels correlate with muscle activity, mitochondrial activity, and biogenesis.

Heat shock proteins (HSP) are considered to function as molecular chaperones by transiently binding to newly synthesized proteins to facilitate their correct folding and assembly. GRP75 levels are associated with muscle activity, mitochondrial function and biogenesis.

Target description

GRP75 (SQ-15) encodes a heat-shock cognate protein. This protein plays a role in the control of cell proliferation.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
