Anti-GPM6A Antibody (C-term)

This GPM6A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 232-259 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human GPM6A.

Involved in neuronal differentiation, including differentiation and migration of neuronal stem cells. Plays a role in neuronal plasticity and is involved in neurite and filopodia outgrowth, filopodia motility and probably synapse formation. GPM6A-induced filopodia formation involves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Src signaling pathways. May be involved in neuronal NGF-dependent Ca (2+) influx. May be involved in regulation of endocytosis and intracellular trafficking of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ; enhances internalization and recycling of mu-type opioid receptor.
