Monoclonal Anti-GOLGA2 antibody produced in mouse

The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. The golgins are a family of proteins, of which the protein encoded by this gene is a member, that are localized to the Golgi. This encoded protein has been postulated to play roles in the stacking of Golgi cisternae and in vesicular transport. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of these variants has not been determined. (provided by RefSeq)

GOLGA2 (Golgin subfamily A member 2) is highly involved in the maintenance of Golgi structure. The proper maintenance of Golgi structure requires specific lateral cisternal-fusion events. During mitosis, GOLGA2 helps to reorganize Golgi ribbons at a stable structure by proper distribution of enzymes in the Golgi apparatus. It has been reported that GOLGA2 participates in centrosome-associated nucleating activity in association with AKAP450 to extend the Golgi. It also participates in endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport and mitotic Golgi apparatus fragmentation. It interacts with and stabilizes GRASP65 (Golgi peripheral membrane protein p65).
