Rabbit anti-Human GAS8 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O95995

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GAS8

Target Full Name

Dynein regulatory complex subunit 4

Target Function

Component of the nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC), a key regulator of ciliary/flagellar motility which maintains the alignment and integrity of the distal axoneme and regulates microtubule sliding in motile axonemes. Plays an important role in the assembly of the N-DRC linker. Plays dual roles at both the primary (or non-motile) cilia to regulate hedgehog signaling and in motile cilia to coordinate cilia movement. Required for proper motile cilia functioning. Positively regulates ciliary smoothened (SMO)-dependent Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway by facilitating the trafficking of SMO into the cilium and the stimulation of SMO activity in a GRK2-dependent manner.

Target Involvement

Ciliary dyskinesia, primary, 33 (CILD33)
