Anti-Ras-gerelateerd eiwit Rab-8A RAB8A Antibody Picoband® fluoro594 Vervoeging

Ras-related protein Rab-8A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB8A gene. It is mapped to 19p13.12. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAS superfamily which are small GTP/GDP-binding proteins with an average size of 200 amino acids. The RAS-related proteins of the RAB/YPT family may play a role in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and the plasma membrane. RAB8A regulates cilia assembly by targeting and promoting fusion of vesicles near the ciliary membrane. This gene requires CEP290 for centrosome localization and that CEP290 regulates entry of RAB8A into the cilium during assembly of this organelle. RAB8A has been shown to interact with Optineurin and MAP4K2.

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. That Rab is involved in polarized vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Together with RAB11A, RAB3IP, the exocyst complex, PARD3, PRKCI, ANXA2, CDC42 and DNMBP promotes transcytosis of PODXL to the apical membrane initiation sites (AMIS), apical surface formation and lumenogenesis. Together with MYO5B and RAB11A participates in epithelial cell polarization. Plays an important role in ciliogenesis. Together with MICALL2, may also regulate adherens junction assembly. May play a role in insulin-induced transport to the plasma membrane of the glucose transporter GLUT4 and therefore play a role in glucose homeostasis. .
