{"product_id":"biolegend-865401","title":"Biolegend, 865401, Purified anti-Rab8 Antibody, 25μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eRab8 is a small GTP\/GDP binding protein that belongs to the RAS superfamily. It is well established that Rab8 is an important participant of macroautophagy, and is essential for several apical transport pathways. Recruitment of Rab8a and TBK1 by the autophagy receptor optineurin initiates the autophagy process at specific protein aggregate site, which leads to the clearance of aggregated protein. Recent studies on C9ORF72, the gene that most commonly mutated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia (ALS-FTD), show that the C9ORF72\/SMCR8\/WDR41 complex acts as a GDP\/GTP exchange factor for Rab8a, which facilitates the interaction between Rab8a and the autophagy receptor optineurin 4 .\u003cbr\u003e\n25μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant human Rab8A\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/ml\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: WB - Quality tested ICC - Verified\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting.
