GASP-1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the GPRASP (G protein-coupled receptor associated sorting protein) family. The protein may modulate lysosomal sorting and functional down-regulation of a variety of G-protein coupled receptors. It targets receptors for degradation in lysosomes. The receptors interacting with this sorting protein include D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2), delta opioid receptor (OPRD1), beta-2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), D4 dopamine receptor (DRD4) and cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010],function:May modulate lysosomal sorting and functional down-regulation of a variety of G-protein coupled receptors. Targets receptors for degradation in lysosomes.,similarity:Belongs to the GPRASP family.,subunit:Interacts with cytoplasmic tails of a variety of G-protein coupled receptors such as D2 dopamine receptor/DRD2 (By similarity), delta opioid receptor/OPRD1, beta-2 adrenergic receptor/ADRB2 and D4 dopamine receptor/DRD4. Interacts with PER1.,tissue specificity:Expressed in the brain, with lower expression in medulla, spinal cord and substantia nigra.,
