mouse monoclonal IgG1; golgin 160 Antibody (C-8) is an IgG1 κ mouse monoclonal golgin 160 antibody (also designated golgin 160 antibody) that detects the golgin 160 protein of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF and ELISA. golgin 160 Antibody (C-8) is available as both the non-conjugated anti-golgin 160 antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-golgin 160 antibody, including agarose, HRP, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. The Golgi apparatus consists of a series of stacked, flattened membrane stacks called cisternae that are involved in the transport of lipids and proteins in the secretory pathway and are important for Golgi-microtubule interaction. Golgin 160, also known as GOLGA3 (Golgin subfamily A member 3), MEA-2 or GCP170, is a 1,498 amino acid protein that localizes to both the cytoplasm and to the Golgi apparatus and contains a series of coiled-coil domains. Expressed in a variety of tissues, including heart, liver, testis, kidney, lung and salivary gland, golgin 160 functions as a homodimer that interacts with GOLGA7 and is thought to be involved in maintaining Golgi structure and may play a role in nuclear transport and Golgi apparatus localization. Multiple isoforms of golgin 160 exist due to alternative splicing events.
