Description
Product Characteristics:
Golgin 245 is also known as p230, GCP2, GOLG or golgi autoantigen and is a 2,230 amino acid protein that is expressed as three isoforms. Golgin 245 is localized to the cytoplasm in cells and is a member of the golgin family, all of which are peripheral membrane proteins associated with the Golgi complex. Golgin 245 has a carboxyl-terminal GRIP domain, which attaches to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and TGN-derived vesicles. It is thought that the interaction that takes place between golgin 245 and MACF1, which cross-links microtubules to the Actin cytoskeleton, allows proteins to be transported from the TGN to the cell periphery. against golgin 245 are associated with two chronic disorders known as Sjren's syndrome and Hepatitis B.

Target Information: The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. This gene encodes one of the golgins, a family of proteins localized to the Golgi. This protein has been postulated to play a role in Rab6-regulated membrane-tethering events in the Golgi apparatus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
