DescriptionAnti-Gβ5 Antibody
Background InformationThe 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 G1-4 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.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryHeterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), which integrate signals between receptors and effector proteins, are composed of an alpha, a beta, and a gamma subunit. These subunits are encoded by families of related genes. This gene encodes a beta subunit. Beta subunits are important regulators of alpha subunits, as well as of certain signal transduction receptors and effectors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms exist.
