| Rab5 is a 24kD GTP-binding protein that regulates the fusion of plasma membrane-derived clathrin-coated vesicles with early endosomes and homotypic fusion among early endosomes. It is localized to the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane, clathrin-coated vesicles, and early endosomes. Rab5 is believed to regulate vesicle fusion through a cycle of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. The different guanine nucleotide binding states of Rab5 is postulated to affect its ability to associate or dissociate with membranes during endocytotic membrane traffic. Its GTP-bound form, which represents the active form of Rab5, associates with membrane and regulates vesicle docking and fusion. Studies using Rab5 mutant that hydrolysed xanthosine 5í-triphosphate (XTP) indicated that nucleotide hydrolysis occurs even in the absence of membrane fusion. GTP hydrolysis by Rab5 is postulated to determine the frequency of membrane docking and fusion events. | | | | | | Applications: | | | Suitable for use in Western Blot, and Immunoprecipitation Other applications not tested. | | | Catalog # | R0008 | | Recommended Dilution | Western Blot (ECL): 1:2000 dilution detected Rab5 in 20ug of mouse brain tissue extract by ECL | | Immunoprecipitation: 1:100 | | Optimal dilutions to be determined by researcher. | | | | Positive Control: | | Mouse Brain Tissue Extract, Rat Brain Tissue Extract | | Storage and Stability | May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. | | CAS Number | n/a | | Clone Type | Polyclonal | | Isotype | IgG | | Host | Rabbit | | Source | Human | | Concentration | Not determined | | Form | Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 50% glycerol, 0.09% azide. | | Purity | Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography | | Immunogen | Human Rab5 synthetic peptide (aa182-197), conjugated to KLH.
