Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human RASAL1 recombinant protein (Position: D721-A798). (reported region: D721-A798).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 90 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, IHC, 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 protein activator like 1. The protein encoded by this gene is member of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins. And it is mapped to 12q24.13. These proteins stimulate the GTPase activity of normal RAS p21 but not its oncogenic counterpart. Acting as a suppressor of RAS function, the protein enhances the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP-bound form of RAS, thereby allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. This particular family member contains domains which are characteristic of the GAP1 subfamily of RasGAP proteins but, in contrast to the other GAP1 family members, this protein is strongly and selectively expressed in endocrine tissues. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. Functional note: Probable inhibitory regulator of the Ras-cyclic AMP pathway (PubMed:9751798). Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes (PubMed:23999003). Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in thyroid and adrenal medulla, lower expression in brain, spinal cord and trachea (PubMed:9751798). Expressed in melanocytes (PubMed:23999003).
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how RASAL1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- G Protein Signaling: Researchers commonly examine how RASAL1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Oncoproteins/Suppressors: Researchers commonly examine how RASAL1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative RASAL1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of RASAL1 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
