Description

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

Synonyms

GCAP 3; Guanylate cyclase activating photoreceptor 3; Guanylate cyclase activator 1C; Guanylyl cyclase activating protein 3; Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 3; GUC1C_HUMAN; GUCA1C.

About

Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera.

Cross Reactive Species details

No significant cross reactivity has been observed for this antibody for the tested species. However, note that due to limited knowledge it is impossible to predict with 100% guarantee that the antibody does not corss react with any other species.

Advisory

Avoid freeze/thaw cycles as they may denaturate the polypeptide chains of the antibody, thus reducing its reactivity, specificity and sensitivity. For antibodies that are in liquid form or reconstituted lyophilized antibodies small amounts could become entrapped on the seal or the walls of the tube. Prior to use briefly centrifuge the vial to gather all the solution on the bottom.

Background information

The intracellular stimulation of guanylate cyclase (GC) by calcium, a key event in the recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors after exposure to light, is mediated by guanylate cyclase-activating proteins (GCAP). GCAPs are calcium-binding proteins belonging to the calmodulin superfamily and are specifically expressed in retina. GCAP3 (Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 3), also known as GUCA1C (Guanylate cyclase activator 1C), is a 209 amino acid EF-hand calcium binding protein that is activated by the decrease in calcium from the absorption of light by rhodopsin. Activation of GCAP3 leads to stimulation of guanylate cyclase 1 and 2 (GC1 and GC2), which increases cGMP concentration. Calcium sensitive regulation of GC is essential in recovery of the rod receptor dark state following light exposure. There are two isoforms of GCAP3 that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
