Anti-GGN Antibody Picoband®

This gene is a germ cell-specific gene that encodes proteins that interact with POG (proliferation of germ cells) . Alternatively spliced transcript variants of a similar mouse gene encode at least three different proteins, namely gametogenetin protein 1a, gametogenetin protein 2, and gametogenetin protein 3, which show a perinuclear, cytoplasmic, and nucleolar localization, respectively. These proteins regulate the localization of POG and may play a role in spermatogenesis.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GGN. Human GGN shares 93.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat GGN.
