Rabbit polyclonal antibody to eRF3a (D128)

eRF3a (eukaryotic peptide chain release factor subunit 3a), also known as GSPT1 (G1 to S phase transition 1), is a 499 amino acid protein that belongs to the GTP~binding elongation factor family and is involved in the regulation of cell growth, specifically via control of translation termination. Human eRF3a shares 94% sequence identity with its mouse counterpart, suggesting a conserved function between species. The gene encoding eRF3a maps to human chromosome 16, which encodes over 900 genes and comprises nearly 3% of the human genome. The GAN gene is located on chromosome 16 and, with mutation, may lead to giant axonal neuropathy, a nervous system disorder characterized by increasing malfunction with growth.
