| Application: | Anti-FGD5 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige . |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The function of Facio-genital dysplasia-5 (FGD5) is yet unknown. It causes vaso-obliteration through apoptosis by activating hey1-p53 pathway. Through this mechanism, it prevents neo-vascularization. It also binds to and activates cdc42. It is therefore, involved in vascular pruning during vascular remodeling through apoptosis of endothelial cells (ECs). It regulates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling, and thereby controls the survival and adhesion of endothelial cells. As FGD5 is localized to membrane ruffles, it might control EC structure, adhesion and migration via controlling the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton. It is also found in early endosome, and thus, might play a role in membrane transport through the activation of cdc42. It might also be involved in the activation of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinases) and thus, play a role in membrane ruffling. |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
| General description: | Facio-genital dysplasia-5 (FGD5) belongs to Rho GTP-GDP exchange factors family. This protein is composed of a Dbl homology (DH) domain, a PH (Pleckstrin homology) domain, a FYVE-finger domain and a second PH domain located at the C-terminal. It is exclusively expressed in both mature and progenitor endothelial cells (ECs). It resides in early endosomes and membrane ruffles. |
