Rabbit anti-Human GSDMC Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9BYG8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GSDMC

Target Full Name

Gasdermin-C

Target Function

This form constitutes the precursor of the pore-forming protein: upon cleavage, the released N-terminal moiety (Gasdermin-C, N-terminal) binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering cell death.; Pore-forming protein that causes membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis. Released upon cleavage and binds to membrane inner leaflet lipids. Homooligomerizes within the membrane and forms pores of 10-15 nanometers (nm) of inner diameter, triggering pyroptosis. The functional mechanisms and physiological proteases that cleave and activate this pore-forming protein are unknown (Probable).

Target Subcellular Location

[Gasdermin-C]: Cytoplasm, cytosol.; [Gasdermin-C, N-terminal]: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Gasdermin family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed mainly in trachea and spleen. In the esophagus, expressed in differentiating cells and probably in differentiated cells. Also detected in gastric epithelium.

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Synonyms
