Rabbit Anti-GBP2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Guanylate-binding proteins, GBP1 and GBP2 are GTP-binding proteins with a high-turnover GTPase activity and an antiviral effect (1-4). GBP1 mediates an antiviral effect against vesicular stomatitis virus and encephalomyocarditis virus and plays a role in the IFN-mediated antiviral response against these viruses (4). GBP1 and GBP2 belong to a group of large GTP-binding proteins with a high concentration-dependent GTPase activity that have the common ability to undergo oligomerization (1). GBP1 and GBP2 are bone marrow-derived GTPases encoded by interferon-activated genes and are inducible following IFN treatment (2,3). Specifically, GBP1 is expressed in cultured mammary epithelial tumor cell lines after treatment with IFN-gamma and LPS (5).
Function:
Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are characterized by their ability to specifically bind guanine nucleotides (GMP, GDP, and GTP). GBP2 is a GTPase that converts GTP to GDP and GMP.
Subunit:
Homodimerizes upon GTP-binding, dimerization is required for the second hydrolysis step from GDP to GMP. Can also heterodimerize with other members of the family.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side
Similarity:
Belongs to the GBP family.
