GOLGB1 (golgin B1) belongs to the golgin family of proteins, and it is the largest member of this family. It is a transmembrane protein, and its C-terminal either contains a short or no luminal domain This protein resides in COPI vesicles and most of this protein projects into the cytoplasm. GOLGB1 has a molecular weight of 372kDa and consists of 3260 amino acids.
Synonyms: Anti-372 kDa Golgi complex-associated protein antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-GCP372 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Giantin antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Golgin subfamily B member 1 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Macrogolgin antibody produced in rabbit
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-GOLGB1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: GOLGB1 (golgin B1) aids in the anchoring of vesicles and fusion processes related to Golgi apparatus. This is achieved by its interaction with p115, rab1, GM130 (Golgi matrix protein130) and SNARE. It regulates the stack organization of golgi apparatus, and thus modulates the secretory pathway. It also controls the transport of cargo and modifications in sugar residues. GOLGB1 is responsible for the attachment of COPI vesicles to the golgi bodies. GOLGB1, present on COPI vesicles, interacts with GM130, present on Golgi bodies, and p115 acts as a bridge between the two. GOLGB1 regulates the localization of dynein-2, and thus, mediates the formation of cilia in cells.
