Description
Description
SpecificityThis antibody recognizes human and mouse GABARAP.
BackgroundGamma-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABA(A) receptors) are ligand-gated chloride channels that mediate inhibitory neurotransmission. This protein clusters neurotransmitter receptors by mediating interaction with the cytoskeleton. In addition, GABARAP has an important role in autophagy; it is crucial for autophagosome formation and sequestering cytosolic cargo into double-membrane vesicles which is then followed by degradation after fusion with lysosomes.
FunctionUbiquitin-like modifier that plays a role in intracellular transport of GABA(A) receptors and its interaction with the cytoskeleton (PubMed:9892355). Involved in autophagy: while LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation (PubMed:15169837, PubMed:20562859, PubMed:22948227). Through its interaction with the reticulophagy receptor TEX264, participates in the remodeling of subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum into autophagosomes upon nutrient stress, which then fuse with lysosomes for endoplasmic reticulum turnover (PubMed:31006538). Also required for the local activation of the CUL3(KBTBD6/7) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, regulating ubiquitination and degradation of TIAM1, a guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates RAC1 and downstream signal transduction (PubMed:25684205). Thereby, regulates different biological processes including the organization of the cytoskeleton, cell migration and proliferation (PubMed:25684205). Involved in apoptosis (PubMed:15977068). {PubMed:15169837, PubMed:15977068, PubMed:20562859, PubMed:22948227, PubMed:25684205, PubMed:31006538, PubMed:9892355}.
