Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Septin 7 (M368)

The septins are a family of GTPase enzymes, some of which are required for cytokinesis and others of which are associated with exocytosis. Members of the septin family can form heteropolymer complexes and also play a role in the organization of new growth in organisms. The transcriptional regulation of all septins is complex, resulting in alternatively spliced variants. At least three septins (Septin 1, 2 and 4) are associated with a Tau~based paired helical filament core and may contribute to the formation of neurofibrillary tangle as integral constituents of paired helical filaments. Septin 3 (G~Septin), a GTP~binding protein, is highly expressed in brain and is regulated by protein kinase G in neurons.
