Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Rab9, different from the related mouse sequence by three amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by two amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 23 kDa; calculated MW: 22838 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Monkey,Mouse
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Ras-related protein Rab-9A; Ras-related protein Rab-9A. Ras-related protein Rab-9A, also called RAB9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB9A gene. This gene is mapped to Xp22.2. RAB9 has been localized to components of the endocytic/exocytic pathway and has been implicated in recycling of membrane receptors. It has been found that downregulation of RAB9A gene expression in HeLa cells induced severe cell vacuolation. RAB9A GTPase is ly bound by TIP47 in its active, GTP-bound conformation. Moreover, RAB9A increases the affinity of TIP47 for its cargo. What’s more, this gene may involved in the transport of proteins between the endosomes and the trans Golgi network. RAB9A has been shown to interact with RABEPK and TIP47. Functional note: Involved in the transport of proteins between the endosomes and the trans Golgi network. Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor ; Cytoplasmic side . Endoplasmic reticulum membrane . Golgi apparatus membrane . Late endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane ; Lipid-anchor ; Cytoplasmic side . Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome. Colocalizes with OSBPL1A at the late endosome. Recruited to phagosomes containing S.aureus or M.tuberculosis. Expression/tissue context: Widely expressed; high expression found in skeletal muscle. .
