Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 1 (DOCK1), also termed as the DOCK180 gene, is mapped to human chromosome 10q26.2. DOCK1 is a member of a family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF).
Specificity
Anti-DOCK1 (C-terminal) specifically recognizes human, rat, and mouse DOCK1.
Application
Anti-DOCK1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 1 (DOCK1) is involved in cytoskeletal reorganization and cell migration and acts as an activator of Rac. DOCK1 has been found to undergo ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation, a process enhanced in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), adapter molecule (Crk) and adhesion-dependent signals. DOCK1 forms a complex with engulfment and cell motility protein 1 (ELMO1) which also inhibits ubiquitylation of DOCK1. By activating the β1 and αvβ5 integrins, DOCK1 regulates cell motility, filopodia formation, and phagocytosis. DOCK1 has been suggested to play a central role in netrin signaling during neuronal development by mediating the attractive responses by neurons to netrin-1. It mediates morphological changes such as integrin-mediated cell spreading and nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth. In mammalian cells, the CrkII-ELMO1-DOCK1 complex has been shown to promote phagocytosis.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, the product may be stored at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots at –20 °C. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Integrin receptors are important for the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. However, little is known about their function in mediating internalization, as previous studies used blocking antibodies for the inhibition of binding. Here we show that the alphavbeta5 receptor mediates both
