Application

Anti-GAPDH antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzes the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-phosphate, which is a critical energy-yielding step in carbohydrate metabolism. It binds to several proteins including actin, tubulin, amyloid precursor, polyglutamine peptides, DRPLA (dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy) and huntingtin. Phosphorylated GAPDH associates with cytoskeletal elements and controls microtubule dynamics in the early secretory pathway. GAPDH is also a component of the functional GAIT (interferon-γ-activated inhibitor of translation) mRNP (messenger ribonucleoprotein). GAPDH expression is dysregulated during melanoma progression.

General description

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) localizes in the cytoplasm but can be translocated to the nucleus depending on cellular conditions. It is a tetramer containing identical chains. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 12p13.
