RIC8A Antibody (Center) western blot analysis in A2058 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the RIC8A antibody detected the RIC8A protein (arrow).
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which can activate some, but not all, G-alpha proteins. Able to activate GNAI1, GNAO1 and GNAQ, but not GNAS by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Involved in regulation of microtubule pulling forces during mitotic movement of chromosomes by stimulating G(i)-alpha protein, possibly leading to release G(i)-alpha-GTP and NuMA proteins from the NuMA-GPSM2-G(i)-alpha-GDP complex (By similarity). Also acts as an activator for G(q)-alpha (GNAQ) protein by enhancing the G(q)-coupled receptor-mediated ERK activation
Tissue Specificity
This RIC8A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 242-271 amino acids from the Central region of human RIC8A.
Cellular Localization
Cytoplasm (By similarity). Cell membrane (By similarity). Note=Colocalizes with RIC8A in CA2 hippocampal neurons. Colocalizes with GNAI1 and RGS14 at the plasma membrane (By similarity)
