Background Information

cGAS (Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase), also known as C6orf150 or h-cGAS, is a 522 aa protein. cGAS mediates innate immune responses against invading pathogens, or against self-dsDNA, which causes autoimmune disorders. The cGAS sensor not only recognizes cytosolic dsDNA but also synthesizes the second messenger cGAMP from ATP and GTP, which then binds to and activates STING. STING undergoes conformational changes and translocation from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus to encounter TBK1 and IRF3, eventually triggering the production of type I IFNs.

Hannah (Verified Customer) (12-10-2024)

Detects authentic cGAS band ~58kDa by western blot that disappears upon knockdown, but also detects a non-specific band just above, ~60kDa, which is not ideal for figure generation and concerning for other applications such as IF.

• Applications: Western Blot
• Primary Antibody Dilution: 1/1,000 1h room temp
• Cell Tissue Type: human fibroblasts
