Recombinant Human guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1)

Uniprot Id

P32455

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GBP1

Target Full Name

Guanylate-binding protein 1

Target Function

Hydrolyzes GTP to GMP in 2 consecutive cleavage reactions. Exhibits antiviral activity against influenza virus. Promotes oxidative killing and delivers antimicrobial peptides to autophagolysosomes, providing broad host protection against different pathogen classes.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cell membrane. Secreted. Note=Secreted from endothelial cells in the cerebrospinal fluid, upon bacterial challenge and independently of IFNG induction. Golgi membrane localization requires isoprenylation and the presence of another IFNG-induced factor.

Target Protein Families

TRAFAC class dynamin-like GTPase superfamily, GB1/RHD3-type GTPase family, GB1 subfamily

Target Background

Guanylate binding protein expression is induced by interferon. Guanylate binding proteins are characterized by their ability to specifically bind guanine nucleotides (GMP, GDP, and GTP) and are distinguished from the GTP-binding proteins by the presence of 2 binding motifs rather than 3.
