Other Names | Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(t) subunit alpha-2, Transducin alpha-2 chain, GNAT2, GNATC |
Target/Specificity | This GNAT2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 140-169 amino acids from the Central region of human GNAT2. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | GNAT2 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GNAT2 |

Synonyms | GNATC |
Function | Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. Transducin is an amplifier and one of the transducers of a visual impulse that performs the coupling between rhodopsin and cGMP- phosphodiesterase. |
Cellular Location | Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P50149}. Photoreceptor inner segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P50149}. Note=Localizes mainly in the outer segment in the dark-adapted state, whereas is translocated to the inner part of the photoreceptors in the light-adapted state. During dark- adapted conditions, in the presence of UNC119 mislocalizes from the outer segment to the inner part of rod photoreceptors which leads to decreased photoreceptor damage caused by light {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P50149} |
Tissue Location | Retinal rod outer segment. |

Background
Transducin is a 3-subunit guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) which stimulates the coupling of rhodopsin and cGMP-phoshodiesterase during visual impulses. The transducin alpha subunits in rods and cones are encoded by separate genes. This gene encodes the alpha subunit in cones.
