GNAQ Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 382 amino acids (1-359 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 44.5kDa.
GNAQ is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
GNAQ, also known as Guanine nucleotide-binding protein belong to the G-alpha family. Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in a variety of transmembrane signaling systems. GNAQ regulates B-cell selection and survival and is essential in order to prevent B-cell-dependent autoimmunity. GNAQ also regulates chemotaxis of BM-derived neutrophils and dendritic cells, in vitro. GNAQ is an alpha subunit in the Gq class, couples a seven-transmembrane domain receptor to activation of phospolipase C-beta. Mutations at this locus have been connected with problems in platelet activation and aggregation. A related pseudogene to GNAQ exists on chromosome 2.
