Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human RABEP1. AA range:549-598
Specificity
Rabaptin-5α Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Rabaptin-5α protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
IHC: 1/100 - 1/300. ELISA: 1/40000.. IF 1:50-200
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function:Rab effector protein acting as linker between gamma-adaptin, RAB4A and RAB5A. Involved in endocytic membrane fusion and membrane trafficking of recycling endosomes. Stimulates RABGEF1 mediated nucleotide exchange on RAB5A.,PTM:Proteolytic cleavage by caspases in apoptotic cells causes loss of endosome fusion activity.,similarity:Belongs to the rabaptin family.,subunit:Heterodimer with RABGEF1. The heterodimer binds RAB4A and RAB5A that have been activated by GTP-binding. Binds TSC2, GGA1, GGA2, GGA3, AP1G1 and AP1G2.,
