YWHAG Antibody / 14-3-3 Gamma Isoform Antibody recognizes YWHAG, the gene product encoding the gamma isoform of the 14-3-3 family of regulatory proteins. 14-3-3 proteins function primarily through interactions with other cellular proteins, frequently recognizing phosphoserine- or phosphothreonine-containing motifs generated by kinase signaling. Binding to 14-3-3 gamma can alter the localization, stability, conformation or molecular interactions of its partners. Through these phosphorylation-dependent associations, YWHAG participates in intracellular signaling networks controlling cell survival, proliferation, apoptosis and other cellular responses.
The 14-3-3 family consists of several highly conserved isoforms that can form homo- and heterodimers. These dimers provide interaction surfaces capable of binding numerous signaling proteins and coordinating their behavior following phosphorylation. Rather than functioning as an enzyme, 14-3-3 gamma acts primarily as a regulatory adaptor. Association with YWHAG can sequester proteins within particular cellular compartments, protect phosphorylated residues from phosphatases, influence protein stability or facilitate formation of multiprotein signaling complexes. A YWHAG Antibody can therefore support studies examining how phosphorylation events are translated into downstream changes in protein function.
14-3-3 gamma has been linked to signaling mechanisms involved in cell-cycle progression, proliferation and apoptosis. Members of the 14-3-3 family interact with numerous components of kinase cascades and cell-survival pathways, providing an interface between phosphorylation-dependent signaling and downstream cellular responses. Regulation of protein localization is particularly important to 14-3-3 biology because binding can influence whether signaling and transcriptional regulatory proteins remain in the cytoplasm or gain access to other cellular compartments.
YWHAG is broadly expressed and has been studied extensively in neuronal and developmental biology as well as cancer research. The gamma isoform is expressed in the nervous system, where phosphorylation-dependent protein interactions contribute to neuronal development, signaling and cellular function. Altered YWHAG expression or regulation has also been investigated in tumors and other conditions involving disrupted signaling networks. Because the different 14-3-3 isoforms have substantial sequence similarity and overlapping interaction partners, distinguishing the gamma isoform can be important when investigating isoform-specific expression and regulation.
The ability of YWHAG to interact with numerous phosphorylated proteins places 14-3-3 gamma within a broad network connecting kinase activity with downstream cellular regulation. Its functions as a phosphoprotein-binding adaptor complement the activities of kinases, phosphatases and other signaling proteins that determine cellular responses to internal and external signals. NSJ Bioreagents supplies antibodies to YWHAG and related proteins involved in intracellular signaling. A YWHAG Antibody can support research on the 14-3-3 gamma isoform, phosphoprotein interactions, cell survival and phosphorylation-dependent signal transduction.
For additional information on the gamma member of the 14-3-3 protein family and its roles in phosphorylation-dependent signaling and intracellular regulation, see our 14-3-3 Gamma Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the YWHAG Antibody / 14-3-3 Gamma Isoform Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids D21-K162) was used as the immunogen for the YWHAG antibody.
After reconstitution, the YWHAG antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
