Conjugated Optineurin Rabbit mAb

Target background

Target: Optineurin (OPTN) · Homo sapiens

Plays an important role in the maintenance of the Golgi complex, in membrane trafficking, in exocytosis, through its interaction with myosin VI and Rab8. Links myosin VI to the Golgi complex and plays an important role in Golgi ribbon formation. Plays a role in the activation of innate immune response during viral infection. Mechanistically, recruits TBK1 at the Golgi apparatus, promoting its trans-phosphorylation after RLR or TLR3 stimulation. In turn, activated TBK1 phosphorylates its downstream partner IRF3 to produce IFN-beta/IFNB1. Plays a neuroprotective role in the eye and optic nerve.

Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region; Golgi apparatus; Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network; Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome; Cytoplasmic vesicle; Recycling endosome

Tissue specificity: Present in aqueous humor of the eye (at protein level). Expressed in the trabecular meshwork (at protein level). Expressed in nonpigmented ciliary epithelium (at protein level). Expressed at high levels in skeletal muscle, also detected in heart, brain, pancreas, kidney, placenta and liver.
