Description
Product Characteristics:
Exhibits intrisinic GTPase activity. Shows a higher affinity for GDP over GTP (about 12-fold higher), and binding shows an absolute requirement for magnesium.Tissue specificity:Highly expressed in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes that contain mostly T- and B-lymphocytes. Expressed specifically in resting T- and B-lymphocytes and expression significantly decreases during B- or T-lymphocyte activation. Expressed at lower levels in thymus, ovary, colon and small intestine.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: GTPase, IMAP family member 3 pseudogene, Ian4, Gimap5, 2010110D23Rik, GIMAP 3, GIMAP3, GTPase IMAP family member 3, GTPase of the immune associated protein 3, Immune associated nucleotide 4, Immunity associated nucleotide 4 protein, GIMA4_HUMAN.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein belonging to the GTP-binding superfamily and to the immuno-associated nucleotide (IAN) subfamily of nucleotide-binding proteins. The encoded protein of this gene may be negatively regulated by T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia 1 (TAL1). In humans, the IAN subfamily genes are located in a cluster at 7q36.1.
