General description

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4 (Vps4) is a member of the AAA protein family (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities). Vps4 exists as two orthologs in humans (VPS4A and VPS4B). The gene encoding Vps4A is mapped to chromosome 16q22, while the gene for Vps4B resides on chromosome 18q21-q22.

Specificity

Anti-VPS4 recognizes human, mouse, and rat VPS4A and VPS4B.

Application

Anti-VPS4 antibody has been used in
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunofluorescence Confocal Microscopy
  • immunohistochemistry
  • western blotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4 (VPS4) mediates endosomal membrane protein sorting, retroviral budding and cytokinesis by recognizing membrane-associated ESCRT-III assemblies and catalyzing their disassembly.

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 is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
