Anti-GADD34/Ppp1r15a Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A also known as growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein GADD34 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PPP1R15A gene. Enables protein phosphatase binding activity and protein phosphatase regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including peptidyl-serine dephosphorylation; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of protein modification process. Acts upstream of or within endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of protein phosphatase type 1 complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Used to study thalassemia. Orthologous to human PPP1R15A (protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A) .

Expressed at higher levels in the embryonic lung, liver and kidney than in the heart and brain. In adults, higher level expression is seen in the placenta, lung, kidney, and pancreas than in the heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle.

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival.
