Ras related protein consists of three isoforms such as Rab5a, Rab5b and Rab5c. Rab5a is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 3p24.3. This gene codes for 23.66 kDa Rab5a protein.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 176-188 of human Rab5 with C-terminal added cysteine, conjugated to KLH.
Anwendung
Anti-Rab5 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting[1] and immunocytochemistry.
Biochem./physiol. Wirkung
Rab proteins are members of small GTPases control the exocytosis and endocytosis and regulate vesicular transport. Rab5 regulates endocytic pathway in mammalian cells and an activator of autophagy. It mediates macroautophagy of cells expressing aggregates of mutant Huntingtin protein.
Rab5a is essential for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-mediated EGF receptor degradation. Overexpression of Rab5a is associated with the development of variety of cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and ovarian cancer.
Physikalische Form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, and 15 mM sodium azide.

Endosomal trafficking of cell surface receptors is essential to their function. Integrins are transmembrane receptors that integrate adhesion to the extracellular matrix with engagement of the cytoskeleton. Ligated integrins mediate diverse signals that regulate matrix assembly, cell survival, cell morphology

Huntington disease (HD) is caused by a polyglutamine-expansion mutation in huntingtin (HTT) that makes the protein toxic and aggregate-prone. The subcellular localisation of huntingtin and many of its interactors suggest a role in endocytosis, and recently it has been shown
Currently, no commercially available drugs have the ability to reverse cachexia or counteract muscle wasting and the loss of lean mass. Here, we report the methodology used to develop Physiactisome-a conditioned medium released by heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60)-overexpressing C2C12
