- Extra Details:
- The S. cerevisiae YPT1 and SEC4 genes encode Ras-related GTP-binding proteins involved in the regulation of secretion. Mammalian cells express a large number of RAB proteins, GTP-binding proteins closely related to YPT1 and SEC4. Except for the closely related RAB3A and RAB3B, the deduced human RAB proteins share 32 to 50% homology. The predicted 214aa RAB5 protein is 31% and 38% identical to SEC4 and YPT1, respectively. All 6 human RAB proteins tested bound GTP and exhibited GTPase activities in vitro. Northern blot analysis revealed that RAB5 was expressed as 2.7- and 2.8-kb mRNAs in a human fibroblast cell line. RAB5 is a rate-limiting component of the machinery regulating the kinetics of membrane traffic in the early endocytic pathway. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
