Synonyms: Anti-GP-1; Anti-GTP binding protein 1; Anti-HSPC018
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: GTP-binding protein 1 is a protein encoded by the gene GTPBP1 in humans. It belongs to the AGP11/GTPBP1 family of GTP-binding proteins. It functions as a GTP-ase and plays a role in degradation of target mRNA. The expression of this gene is upregulated by interferon-? and is found to be expressed in some neurons, smooth muscle cells and macrophages. It regulates exosome-mediated mRNA turnover pathway.
