General description

Guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), tetralithium salt (GTP-γ-S) is a non-hydrolysable analog of GTP. It is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase in photoreceptors.

Application

GTP-γ-S has been used:
  • in G-Protein activation assay to assess the functionality of protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4)
  • in fluorimetric guanine nucleotide exchange assay of G protein alpha subunits (Gα)
  • to monitor the Rac family small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) 2 (Rac2)-stimulated activity of phospholipase Cγ2 mutants

Biochem/physiol Actions

Guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-γ-S) activates guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins and is slowly hydrolyzed enzymatically. It inhibits guanosine triphosphatase (GTPases) more potently than guanosine triphosphate (GTP),

Storage and Stability

Store powder dry at -15 to -25 °C; aqueous solutions with pH approx. 7 should be stable for six months at -15 to -25 °C.

Analysis Note

Absorption: Content is measured in aqueous solution by absorption at 254 nm.
Conditions:
  • approx. 10 mg/ml double-dist. water
  • dilution: 9.8 ml double-dist. water + 0.2 ml sample.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

This review addresses the regulatory consequences of the binding of GTP to the alpha subunits (Gα) of heterotrimeric G proteins, the reaction mechanism of GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by Gα and the means by which GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) stimulate the

Transmitter release from photoreceptors is decreased by light, resulting in a conductance increase in depolarizing bipolar cells. Addition of exogenous cGMP through a patch pipette to depolarizing bipolar cells from slices of dark-adapted tiger salamander retina resulted in an enhancement

Recently, a GTP-binding protein sensitive to islet activating protein (IAP) has been suggested to be important in producing K+-currents when the muscarinic receptor of the atrial muscle is activated by acetylcholine (ACh). Here we confirm the blocking effects of IAP
