Anti-GILT/IFI30 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the IFI30 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal thiol reductase that at low pH can reduce protein disulfide bonds. The enzyme is expressed constitutively in antigen-presenting cells and induced by gamma-interferon in other cell types. This enzyme has an important role in MHC class II-restricted antigen processing.

Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 14A;17 kDa PKC-potentiated inhibitory protein of PP1; Protein kinase C-potentiated inhibitor protein of 17 kDa; CPI-17; PPP1R14A; CPI17, PPP1INL

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of mouse GILT/IFI30, which shares 84.2% and 89.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat GILT/IFI30, respectively.

Inhibitor of PPP1CA. Has over 1000-fold higher inhibitory activity when phosphorylated, creating a molecular switch for regulating the phosphorylation status of PPP1CA substrates and smooth muscle contraction.
