NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the GIT protein family, which interact with G protein-coupled receptor kinases and possess ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity. GIT proteins traffic between cytoplasmic complexes, focal adhesions, and the cell periphery, and interact with Pak interacting exchange factor beta (PIX) to form large oligomeric complexes that transiently recruit other proteins. GIT proteins regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and participate in receptor internalization and membrane trafficking. This gene has been shown to repress lamellipodial extension and focal adhesion turnover, and is thought to regulate cell motility. This gene undergoes extensive alternative splicing to generate multiple isoforms, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. The various isoforms have functional differences, with respect to ARF GAP activity and to G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 binding. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
Uniprot Description
GIT2: possesses ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity. Interacts with G protein-coupled receptor kinases. Associates with paxillin. Also interacts with PIX exchange factors. Regulates Golgi and actin cytoskeletal organization. Important in integrin-mediated cell adhesion. Ten alternatively spliced isoforms have been described and additional isoforms seem to exist. Contains 1 Arf-GAP domain and 3 ANK repeats.

Product Notes
The GIT2 git2 (Catalog #AAA3222519) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GIT2 Antibody - middle region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GIT2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GIT2 git2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: VELILKTINN QHSVESQDND QPDYDSVASD EDTDLETTAS KTNRQKSLDS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GIT2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
