Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 1 (G3BP1) belongs to the GAP SH3-domain binding protein (G3BP) family. It comprises 466 amino acids with N-terminal nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2) like domain. It also possesses Src homology 3 (SH3) domain binding, RNA recognition motif (RRM) and an arginine-glycine rich domain. The G3BP1 gene is mapped to human chromosome 5q33.1.
Synonyms: Anti-ATP-dependent DNA helicase VIII; Anti-G3BP-1; Anti-GAP SH3 domain-binding protein 1; Anti-HDH-VIII; Anti-Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 1
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 1 is an enzyme encoded by the G3BP1 gene in humans. It is referred as G3BP and HDH-VIII. It is a RasGAP binding protein that is overexpressed in various human cancers. Down-regulation of this gene suppresses cell growth and induces apoptosis in HCT116 cells. It acts as a potential anti-cancer drug target that is implicated in several cellular functions.
