Co-localization with the cis-Golgi marker GM130/GOLGA2 (RRID:AB_398141) for a refined protein localization within the Golgi apparatus in U-2 OS cells. GOLGA3 localizes to the Golgi apparatus and is partly detected in the cis-Golgi compartment and other Golgi compartments.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GOLGA3 (HGNC Symbol)

GCP170, golgin-160, MEA-2
Description
Golgin A3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. This gene encodes a member of the golgin family of proteins which are localized to the Golgi. Its encoded protein has been postulated to play a role in nuclear transport and Golgi apparatus localization. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
