Additional Product Information
Gemin5 is a component of the SMN (survival of motor neurons) complex. The SMN complex is composed of the SMN protein and several Gemins (2-7) and is involved in the assembly of snRNPs in the cytoplasm and their transport to the nucleus. The SMN complex localizes to nuclear focal structures called gems or Gemini of coiled bodies. Gemin 5 has been shown to be responsible for recognizing and binding the snRNP code during snRNP biogenesis. Recent studies have shown that Gemin 5 is rarely detectable in SMN complexes associated with gems/Cajal bodies in the nucleus and may play a specific role in cytoplasmic SMN complexes. It has also been shown to function as a scaffold protein for ASK1-JNK1 signaling.
Alternate Names
gem-associated protein 5; Gemin5; GEMIN-5
Applications
All western blot analysis is performed using 5% Milk-TBST for blocking and as antibody diluent. Primary antibody is incubated overnight.
Western blots of cell lysates are performed using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Heavy and Light Chain Antibody (Cat. No. A120-101P).
Western blots of immunoprecipitates are performed using Goat anti-Rabbit Light Chain HRP Conjugate (Cat. No. A120-113P) with 5% Normal Pig Serum (Cat. No. S100-020) added to the blocking buffer.
