Application
| WB, E |
|---|---|
| Primary Accession | P06396 |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Clonality | Polyclonal |
| Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
| Calculated MW | 85698 Da |
| Gene ID | 2934 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Gelsolin, AGEL, Actin-depolymerizing factor, ADF, Brevin, GSN |
| Target/Specificity | This GSN antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 36-70 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human GSN. |
| Dilution | WB~~1:1000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
| Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | GSN Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | GSN |
|---|---|
| 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 (PubMed:19666512). Plays a role in ciliogenesis (PubMed:20393563). |
| Cellular Location | [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. |
| Tissue Location | Phagocytic cells, platelets, fibroblasts, nonmuscle cells, smooth and skeletal muscle cells |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
