Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3-domain-binding protein; GAP binding protein; RasGAP-associated endoribonuclease G3BP: This protein is one of the DNA-unwinding enzymes which prefers partially unwound 3'-tailed substrates and can also unwind partial RNA/DNA and RNA/RNA duplexes in an ATP-dependent fashion.
This enzyme is a member of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA-binding proteins and is also an element of the Ras signal transduction pathway.
It binds specifically to the Ras-GTPase-activating protein by associating with its SH3 domain.
Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.
Other applications not tested
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: Detects GAP protein in a RIPA lysate of human Raji lymphocyte cells, rat L6 myoblasts lysate and mouse Wehi leukemia cell lysate.
Immunoprecipitation: Immunoprecipitates GAP protein in a RIPA lysate of human Raji lymphocyte cells
