Gene Information
human ... PRKG1(5592)
General description
PRKG1 (protein kinase, cGMP-dependent, type I) gene is localized to human chromosome 10 and encodes the soluble Iα and Iβ isoforms of PRKG by alternative transcript splicing. It contains 19 exons spanning a length of 220kb. These isoforms have identical cGMP-binding and catalytic domains but different leucine/isoleucine zipper and autoinhibitory sequences. They vary in their dimerization substrates and kinase enzyme activity.
Immunogen

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
PRKG1 (protein kinase, cGMP-dependent, type I) is a cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase that functions in the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle by lowering the intracellular level of calcium. It is activated by an intracellular increase in cGMP mediated by natriuretic peptides. The activated PRKG1 phosphorylates perilipin 1 and hormone-sensitive lipase, which in turn initiate lipolysis and increase the oxidative capacity of human skeletal muscle. A gain-of-function mutation in this gene leads to a constitutively active Prkg1 even in the absence of cGMP. High levels of this protein causes decreased phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain in fibroblasts and decreased contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells. This results in thoracic aortic aneurysms.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
