Anti-C1orf198 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (FITC (Fluorescein Isothiocyanate))
Supplier: Bioss
Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome spanning about 260 million base pairs and making up 8% of the human genome. There are about 3,000 genes on chromosome 1, and considering the great number of genes there are also a large number of diseases associated with chromosome 1. Notably, the rare aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria is associated with the LMNA gene which encodes lamin A. When defective, the LMNA gene product can build up in the nucleus and cause characteristic nuclear blebs. The mechanism of rapidly enhanced aging is unclear and is a topic of continuing exploration. The MUTYH gene is located on chromosome 1 and is partially responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis. Stickler syndrome, Parkinsons, Gaucher disease and Usher syndrome are also associated with chromosome 1. A breakpoint has been identified in 1q which disrupts the DISC1 gene and is linked to schizophrenia. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma. The C1orf198 gene product has been provisionally designated C1orf198 pending further characterization.

Anti-NME4/nm23-H4 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 750)
Supplier: Bioss
The nm23 gene (Metastasis inhibition factor nm23), a potential suppressor of metastasis, is expressed at a much lower level in highly metastatic cells than in cells with lower metastatic potential. Based on sequence analysis, nm23, also designated nucleoside diphosphate kinase A (NDK A) or tumour metastatic process-associated protein, appears to be highly related to nucleotide diphosphate kinases (NDP). NDP kinases A and B are identical to two isotypes of human nm23 homologs, nm23-H1 and nm23-H2, respectively. nm23-H2 is also identical in sequence to PuF, a transcription factor that binds to nuclease-hypersensitive elements at positions 142 to 115 of the human c-Myc promoter. nm23-H3 and nm23-H4 are important for the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates and may play a role in apoptosis induction and hematopoiesis. nm23-H4 localizes to the mitochondrial intermembrane space and is widely expressed, with higher levels detected in prostate, heart, liver, small intestine, and skeletal muscle tissues. Low amounts of nm23-H4 are observed in the brain and in blood leukocytes.

Anti-G protein alpha 13 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 680)
Supplier: Bioss
Heterotrimeric G proteins function to relay information from cell surface receptors to intracellular effectors. Each of a very broad range of receptors specifically detects an extracellular stimulus (a photon, pheromone, odorant, hormone or neurotransmitter) while the effectors (i.e., adenyl cyclase), which act to generate one or more intracellular messengers, are less numerous. In mammals, G protein Alpha, Beta and Gamma polypeptides are encoded by at least 16, 4 and 7 genes, respectively. Most interest in G proteins has been focused on their Alpha subunits, since these proteins bind and hydrolyze GTP and most obviously regulate the activity of the best studied effectors. Four distinct classes of G Alpha subunits have been identified; these include G Alpha s, G Alpha i, G Alpha q and G Alpha 12/13. The two members of the fourth class of G Alpha subunit proteins, G Alpha 12 and G Alpha 13, are insensitive to ADP-ribosylation by pertussis toxin, share 67% identity with each other and less than 45% identity with other G Alpha subunits and are widely expressed in a broad range of tissues.

Anti-RGS21 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Supplier: ProSci Inc.
RGS21 Antibody: Regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins contain an 120 amino acid conserved domain, termed the RGS domain, that acts as a GTPase-activating protein that acts to reduce the signal transmitted by the receptor-activated G-alpha subunit. RGS21 is a recently identified member of this family that has been reported to be selectively expressed in subpopulations of taste bud cells and co-expressed with bitter and sweet transduction components such as alpha-gusticin, phospholipase Cbeta2, T1R2/T1R3 sweet taste receptors and T2R bitter taste receptors. Other reports indicate that RGS21 is more widely expressed. Binding assays demonstrate that RGS21 binds alpha-gusticin in a conformation-dependent manner and may do the same with T1R receptors, suggesting that RGS21 may play a role in sweet and bitter taste transduction processes.

Anti-PCDHB6 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (HRP (Horseradish Peroxidase))
Supplier: Bioss
Protocadherins are a large family of cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins that are involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal connections in the brain. There are three protocadherin gene clusters, designated alpha, beta and gamma, all of which contain multiple tandemly arranged genes. PCDHB6 (Protocadherin beta-6) is a 794 amino acid single pass transmembrane protein that is one of 16 proteins in the protocadherin beta cluster. Unlike the alpha and gamma gene clusters whose genes are spliced to downstream constant region exons during transcription, members of the beta cluster (such as PCDHB6) do not use constant-region exons to produce mRNAs. As a result, each protocadherin beta gene encodes the transmembrane, extracellular and short cytoplasmic domains of the protein. PCDHB6 is likely a calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein that is involved in the maintenance of neural connections in the brain. Unlike most protocadherin-beta proteins, PCDHB6 has not one but two PXXP motifs within its cytoplasmic domain, suggesting a role in signal transduction cascade events.
