Western blot - Anti-Gelsolin antibody [EPR1942] - BSA and Azide free (AB236029)

This data was developed using the same antibody in a different buffer formulation (ab109014).

ab109014 was shown to react with GSN in wild-type HeLa cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in GSN knockout cell line ab265201 (GSN knockout cell lysate ab257204). Wild-type HeLa and GSN knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 1 hr before incubation with ab109014 overnight at 4 °C at a 1/20000 dilution. Blots were incubated with goat anti-rabbit HRP secondary antibodies at 1/5000 before imaging. These data were provided by YCharOS Inc., an open science company with the mission of characterizing commercially available antibody reagents for all human proteins. Abcam and YCharOS are working together to help address the reproducibility crisis by enabling the life science community to better evaluate commercially available antibodies.

Supplementary information

Gelsolin is a multifunctional actin-binding protein that exists in two main isoforms: cytoplasmic and plasma. It has a molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa. Gelsolin is expressed in a wide range of tissues including muscle epithelial and nerve cells. The protein's main mechanical function involves severing actin filaments which helps to regulate actin polymerization and depolymerization. Researchers sometimes refer to gelsolin as 'GSN'. The presence of the protein helps maintain the dynamic organization of the cytoskeleton by interacting with actin filaments.
Biological function summary

This protein acts in cell movement apoptosis and signal transduction. Gelsolin contributes to the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton by promoting the disassembly of actin filaments allowing cells to change shape and move. Although it operates independently gelsolin’s activity can be influenced by calcium ions and phosphoinositides leading to its participation in various cellular activities. Gelsolin plays a role in platelet activation and may regulate cellular responses through association with the cytoskeletal complex.

Pathways

Gelsolin participates in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and apoptotic pathways. Within these pathways gelsolin interacts with proteins like cofilin to modulate actin filament dynamics. In apoptotic pathways it collaborates by altering the cytoskeletal architecture impacting cell death mechanisms. Gelsolin modifications in these pathways have implications for cellular processes like cell migration and apoptosis bringing it into relation with proteins such as caspases.

Gelsolin is linked to conditions such as gelsolin amyloidosis and cancer metastasis. Gelsolin amyloidosis results from mutations in the gelsolin gene which lead to the formation of amyloid fibrils causing dysfunction in nerves eyes and skin. In cancer altered gelsolin expression can influence tumor progression and metastasis through its role in cell motility. Related proteins such as actin and caspases could also play a part in these conditions either through direct interaction or through pathways in which gelsolin functions.

Target data

Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). It can promote the assembly of monomers into filaments (nucleation) as well as sever filaments already formed (PubMed : 19666512). Plays a role in ciliogenesis (PubMed : 20393563).
