Rabbit Anti-COG1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
There are eight COG proteins (COG1-8) which form a Golgi-localized complex (COG) required for normal Golgi morphology and function. It is thought that COG1 is required for steps in the normal medial and trans Golgi-associated processing of glycoconjugates and plays a role in the organization of the Golgi-localized complex.
Function:
Required for normal Golgi function (By similarity).
Subunit:
Component of the conserved oligomeric Golgi complex which is composed of eight different subunits and is required for normal Golgi morphology and localization.
Subcellular Location:
Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side.
DISEASE:
Defects in COG1 are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2G (CDG2G) [MIM:611209]; also known as CDG-II caused by COG1 deficiency. CDGs are a family of severe inherited diseases caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis. They are characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. These multisystem disorders present with a wide variety of clinical features, such as disorders of the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. Clinical features of CDG2G include failure to thrive, generalized hypotonia, growth retardation and mild psychomotor retardation. CDG2G is biochemically characterized by a defect in O-glycosylation as well as N-glycosylation.
Similarity:
Belongs to the COG1 family.
