G-proteins are membrane associated heterotrimeric proteins that are comprised of α-, β-, and λ-subunits. These proteins play a key role in signal transduction pathways that regulate cell′s response to several hormones, neuromodulators and ligands.
Specificity
Recognizes Gαi3 and Gα0 G-proteins.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of Gαi3.
Application
Anti-Gα i3 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunoprecipitation at a working antibody amount of 4μL using solubilized mouse brain membrane lysates and immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:2000 using solubilized mouse and rat brain membrane lysates, and mouse 3T3 cell lysates.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Gi α 3 is a G-protein subunit that is involved in many signal transduction pathways including the mediation of EGF-induced PLC-γ activation and Ca+2 mobilization in hepatocytes. The α-subunit contains a guanine-binding domain that is in its inactive state when it is occupied by GDP. Upon activation, GDP is replaced with GTP, causing the dissociation of the α-subunit from the βλ-subunit complex. This enables the Gα-GTP complex to bind to and regulate specific signaling pathways. GTP is then hydrolyzed, allowing for re-association of the α-subunit with the βλ-subunit complex.
Physical form
Solution of whole antiserum diluted in PBS, pH 7.4.

Behavioural anomalies suggesting an inner ear disorder were observed in a colony of transgenic mice. Affected animals were profoundly deaf. Severe hair bundle defects were identified in all outer and inner hair cells (OHC, IHC) in the cochlea and in

Treatment of rat hepatocytes with epidermal growth factor (EGF) produced an enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor and phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) in conjunction with the mobilization of Ca2+. Approximately 30% of the total PLC-gamma was tyrosine-phosphorylated with a maximum
Stereocilia are actin-based projections of hair cells that are arranged in a step like array, in rows of increasing height, and that constitute the mechanosensory organelle used for the senses of hearing and balance. In order to function properly, stereocilia

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are integral to the signal transduction pathways that mediate the cell's response to many hormones, neuromodulators, and a variety of other ligands. While many signaling processes are guanine nucleotide dependent, the precise coupling between
