GCAP3 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

GCAP3, also known as GUCA1C or Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 3, has a 209 amino acid isoform that is 24 kDa and a short 196 amino acid isoform that is approx. 22 kDa; commonly found in retina; in conditions of low free calcium ions concentration stimulates guanylyl cyclase 1 (GC1) and GC2 and when the concentration is elevated inhibits guanylyl cyclases, which is very important for the recuperation of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. Disease research has linked this protein with cone dystrophy, neuronitis, and retinitis. This protein has shown interactions with GUCA1A, GUCA1B, GUCY2D, GUCY2F, and CNGA3 proteins in the pathways such as the visual cycle in retinal rods, olfactory transduction, and phototransduction pathways.
