Rabbit anti-Human GGA1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9UJY5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GGA1

Target Full Name

ADP-ribosylation factor-binding protein GGA1

Target Function

Plays a role in protein sorting and trafficking between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. Mediates the ARF-dependent recruitment of clathrin to the TGN and binds ubiquitinated proteins and membrane cargo molecules with a cytosolic acidic cluster-dileucine (DXXLL) motif. Mediates export of the GPCR receptor ADRA2B to the cell surface. Required for targeting PKD1:PKD2 complex from the trans-Golgi network to the cilium membrane. Regulates retrograde transport of proteins such as phosphorylated form of BACE1 from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network.

Target Subcellular Location

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the Golgi-localized, gamma adaptin ear-containing, ARF-binding (GGA) protein family. Members of this family are ubiquitous coat proteins that regulate the trafficking of proteins between the trans-Golgi network and the lysosome. These proteins share an amino-terminal VHS domain which mediates sorting of the mannose 6-phosphate receptors at the trans-Golgi network. They also contain a carboxy-terminal region with homology to the ear domain of gamma-adaptins. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
