Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)
Purification
GOLPH3 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
GOLPH3 antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino terminus of human GOLPH3. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of GOLPH3.
GOLPH3 antibody can be used for detection of GOLPH3 by Western blot at 0.5 - 1 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.

GOLPH3 Antibody: GOLPH3 was initially identified as a peripheral membrane protein localized to the trans-Golgi network, but others reported it to be primarily a mitochondrial protein that regulated the mitochondrial mass through the regulation of the mitochondria-specific phospholipid cardiolipin. GOLPH3 has since been implicated in the target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling pathway. Its overexpression in transfected cells led to and increase in anchorage-independent growth and cell proliferation in vitro. Furthermore, GOLPH3-transfected cells enhanced S6 Kinase activity in response to growth factor stimulation by EGF. Simultaneously, AKT phosphorylation increased in these cells, while these events were abrogated in GOLPH3 siRNA treated cells compared to control cells, indicating the GOLPH3 can enhance signalling through TOR-associated complexes. These results suggest that GOLPH3 is a bona fide oncogene and may be a useful target for therapeutic strategies.
