The GSN Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to Gelsolin, and Gsn. This antibody recognizes Human, Mouse, and Rat antigen. The GSN Antibody has been shown to work in the following applications: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot.
Description
Description: The protein encoded by this gene binds to the plus ends of actin monomers and filaments to prevent monomer exchange. The encoded calcium-regulated protein functions in both assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. Defects in this gene are a cause of familial amyloidosis Finnish type (FAF). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Function: Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). It can promote the assembly of monomers into filaments (nucleation) as well as sever filaments already formed. Plays a role in ciliogenesis.
Subunit Structure: Binds to actin and to fibronectin. Identified in a complex composed of ACTA1, COBL, GSN AND TMSB4X. Interacts with the inactive form of EIF2AK2/PKR (By similarity).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylation on Tyr-86, Tyr-409, Tyr-465, Tyr-603 and Tyr-651 in vitro is induced in presence of phospholipids.
Similarity: Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family
