Recombinant Human AGAP3 Protein, GST-Tagged

• Cat.No.: AGAP3-0009H
• Product Overview: Human CENTG3 partial ORF (NP_114152, 241 a.a. - 338 a.a.) recombinant protein with GST-tag at N-terminal.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes an essential component of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor signaling complex which mediates long-term potentiation in synapses by linking activation of NMDA receptor to alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor trafficking. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal GTPase-like domain, a pleckstrin homology domain, an ArfGAP domain and several C-terminal ankryn repeat domains. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
