Rabbit anti-Human GNA13 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q14344

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GNA13

Target Full Name

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha-13

Target Function

Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. Activates effector molecule RhoA by binding and activating RhoGEFs (ARHGEF1/p115RhoGEF, ARHGEF11/PDZ-RhoGEF and ARHGEF12/LARG). GNA13-dependent Rho signaling subsequently regulates transcription factor AP-1 (activating protein-1). Promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis by activating RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. Inhibits CDH1-mediated cell adhesion in process independent from Rho activation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Melanosome. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

G-alpha family, G(12) subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in testis, including in Leydig cells and in the seminiferous epithelium, in differentiating cells from the spermatogonia to mature spermatozoa stages and round spermatids (at protein level). Expressed in 99.2% of spermatozoa from healthy individ

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

G alpha 13; G alpha-13; G-protein subunit alpha-13; GNA13; GNA13_HUMAN; Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein) alpha 13; Guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha 13 subunit; Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha-13

Target Background

Predicted to enable D5 dopamine receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; activation of phospholipase D activity; and multicellular organism aging. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in blood vessel morphogenesis; negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell migration; and negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Located in cytosol and nucleus.
