GM130 Antibody (4i375) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects GM130 in mouse and rat samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. GM130 plays a crucial role in the organization and function of the Golgi apparatus, serving as a cis-Golgi matrix protein that is essential for the docking of transport vesicles to their target membranes. GM130′s amino-terminus specifically binds to p115, facilitating the formation of a membrane docking site, while GM130′s carboxy-terminus anchors to Golgi membranes. This interaction is vital for vesicle tethering, which is a key step in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi compartments. Notably, GM130 undergoes mitotic phosphorylation at Serine 25 by Cdc2, a modification that disrupts binding to p115 and contributes to Golgi fragmentation during mitosis. This phosphorylation occurs in prophase and persists through metaphase and anaphase, with dephosphorylation by PP2A in telophase marking Golgi reassembly. The dynamic regulation of GM130 through phosphorylation highlights GM130′s importance in maintaining Golgi integrity and function during cell division, making anti-GM130 antibody (4i375) an invaluable tool for studying Golgi dynamics and related cellular processes.
