Anti-Gβ5 Antibody

32160702

NA.41

The Gβ5 (GNB5 guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), beta 5) is a G protein subunit present predominantly in the central nervous system. This protein appears to be expressed in two forms, one found in the brain of 39 kDa and one found in the retina of 44 kDa. It has also been found that Gβ5 associates tightly with RGS7, a member of the superfamily of negative regulators of G protein signaling. These complexes have been localized to most regions of the brain, whereas Gβ1-4 exhibit no observable colocalization with RGS7, despite their widespread codistribution throughout similar neuronal networks. This antibody is specific for a peptide sequence within the D1 blade which is not found in Gβ1-4.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human Gβ5.
Epitope: C-terminus

Anti-Gβ5 is an antibody against Gβ5 for use in WB, ICC, IF.

~39 kDa observed. Uniprot describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing at ~44 kDa, ~39 kDa, and ~31 kDa and this antibody is predicted to cross-react with all three.

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
