Anti-GTP [2A4] recombinant antibody

Invented by Urpo Lamminmäki
Invented at University Of Turku

Info

Catalogue Number 157718
Applications ELISA FACS IF
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets GTP
Reactivity Human
Relevance GTPases are central cellular signaling proteins, which cycle between a GDP-bound inactive and a GTP-bound active conformation in a controlled manner. Ras GTPases are frequently mutated in cancer and so far only few experimental inhibitors exist. The most common methods for monitoring GTP hydrolysis rely on luminescent GDP- or GTP-analogs. (From Kopra et al Anal. Chem. 2015, 87, 6, 3527–3534)
Notes Recombinant GTP-specific antibody, clone GTP [2A4] which specifically detects free GTP.
This potent Fab fragment (2A4(GTP)) showed over 100-fold GTP-specificity over GDP, ATP, or CTP and was used to develop a heterogeneous time-resolved luminescence based assay for the monitoring of GTP concentration. The method allows studying the GEF dependent H-Ras activation (GTP binding) and GAP-catalyzed H-Ras deactivation (GTP hydrolysis) at nanomolar protein concentrations. (From Kopra et al Anal. Chem. 2015, 87, 6, 3527–3534)
Research Area Cancer, Metabolism
