ANTI-GS PROTEIN ANTIBODY ALPHA SUBUNIT CLONE N192/12

General description

The heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) mediate signaling from a large number of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) to a variety of intracellular effectors. G-proteins are composed of a 36-52 kDa α-subunit, a 35-36 kDa β-subunit, and an 8-10 kDa γ-subunit. They are classified based on the nature of their α-subunit. Gs is ubiquitously expressed and couples receptors to adenylyl cyclase and promotes intracellular cAMP generation. Mutations in Gs-α can lead to constitutive activation of receptors leading to development of endocrine tumors, fibrous dysplasia of bone, and McCune-Albright syndrome. In brain tissue Gs-α activates adenyl cyclase in direct response to stimulation of several neurotransmitter receptors and facilitates depolarization-induced neurotransmitter release for synaptic transmission. Also, it is shown that Gs-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity is significantly reduced in the Alzheimer′s disease brain tissue.
