Rabbit anti-Human PIST/GOPC Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9HD26

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GOPC

Target Full Name

Golgi-associated PDZ and coiled-coil motif-containing protein

Target Function

Plays a role in intracellular protein trafficking and degradation. May regulate CFTR chloride currents and acid-induced ASIC3 currents by modulating cell surface expression of both channels. May also regulate the intracellular trafficking of the ADR1B receptor. May play a role in autophagy. Overexpression results in CFTR intracellular retention and degradation in the lysosomes.

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration involving GOPC is found in a glioblastoma multiforme sample. An intra-chromosomal deletion del(6)(q21q21) is responsible for the formation of GOPC-ROS1 chimeric protein which has a constitutive receptor tyrosine kinase activity.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density. Cell projection, dendrite.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

Target Background

This gene encodes a Golgi protein with a PDZ domain. The PDZ domain is globular and proteins which contain them bind other proteins through short motifs near the C-termini. Mice which are deficient in the orthologous protein have globozoospermia and are infertile. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
