Target/Specificity | This DANRE ric8b antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 444-478 amino acids from the C-terminal region of DANRE ric8b. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 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 | (DANRE) ric8b Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Function | Chaperone that specifically binds and folds nascent G(s) G- alpha proteins (GNAS and GNAL) prior to G protein heterotrimer formation, promoting their association with the plasma membrane. Also acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for G(s) proteins by stimulating exchange of bound GDP for free GTP. Acts as an important component for odorant signal transduction by mediating GNAL (G(olf)- alpha) folding, thereby promoting-dependent cAMP accumulation in olfactory sensory neurons. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80XE1}. Note=Localizes to the cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80XE1} |
