Rabbit Anti-TBC1D2 (TBC1 Domain Family Member 2A, Armus, Prostate Antigen Recognized and Identified by SEREX 1, PARIS-1, BC1D2, PARIS1, PP8997, TBC1D2A)

GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) accelerate the intrinsic rate of GTP hydrolysis of Ras-related proteins, resulting in downregulation of their active form. TBC1D2 (TBC1 domain family member 2), also known as Armus or PARIS-1 (prostate antigen recognized and identified by SEREX 1), is a 928aa protein containing a Rab-GAP TBC domain and a PH domain. Localizing to cytoplasm, cytoplasmic vesicles and cell junctions, TBC1D2 is expressed in a broad range of tissues, including kidney, liver, lung and placenta, as well as in keratinocytes and epithelia-containing organs. TBC1D2 functions as a GTPase-activating protein for RAB7, and also acts as a linker between RAB7 and RAC1, which leads to RAB7A inactivation and inhibition of E-cadherin degradation. Existing as six alternatively spliced isoforms, the gene encoding TBC1D2 maps to human chromosome 9q22.33.
