Anti-GAS2 / Growth arrest-specific protein 2

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Growth arrest-specific protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAS2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a caspase-3 substrate that plays a role in regulating microfilament and cell shape changes during apoptosis. It can also modulate cell susceptibility to p53-dependent apoptosis by inhibiting calpain activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Protein function: May play a role in apoptosis by acting as a cell death substrate for caspases. Is cleaved during apoptosis and the cleaved form induces dramatic rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton and potent changes in the shape of the affected cells. May be involved in the membrane ruffling process. [The UniProt Consortium]
