Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different sets of downstream effectors ly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion. RAB5A is required for the fusion of plasma membranes and early endosomes. Contributes to the regulation of filopodia extension. .
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor ; Cytoplasmic side . Early endosome membrane ; Lipid-anchor . Melanosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle . Cell projection, ruffle . Membrane. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Enriched in stage I melanosomes. Alternates between membrane-bound and cytosolic forms.
Tissue details (datasheet): Widely expressed (PubMed:16044242). Highly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle (PubMed:12802337). Expressed at intermediate level in brain, spleen, kidney, liver, placenta, lung and peripheral blood leukocytes (PubMed:12802337). Weakly expressed in colon, thymus and small intestine (PubMed:12802337). .
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Type Marker,Neuron Marker,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Organelles,Protein Trafficking,Secretory Vesicles,Signal Transduction,Subcellular Markers,Synapse Marker,Tags & Cell Markers,Vesicle Transport.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a monoclonal antibody, this reagent is expected to recognize a defined epitope, which can support consistency across lots when epitope accessibility is preserved.
