REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

Rab9 also known as Ras-related protein Rab-9A is a small GTPase and part of the Rab family with a mass of around 23 kDa. This protein mainly resides in the trans-Golgi network and late endosomes. Rab9 plays an important role in the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors between late endosomes and the Golgi apparatus facilitating cargo sorting and vesicular trafficking in cells.
Biological function summary
Rab9 coordinates several intracellular trafficking processes aiding in the regulation of membrane identity. It associates with other effectors such as tail-interacting protein (TIP47) to form complexes on the endosomal surface. These complexes help in vesicular transport ensuring efficient recycling of receptors. Rab9 impacts endosome maturation and transport making it an essential endosome marker.
Pathways
Rab9 influences and is involved in the regulation of the endocytic and secretory pathways. It interacts with proteins like Rab7 another GTPase to manage late endosome and lysosome transport. These interactions underline Rab9's functionalities in intracellular trafficking and recycling processes relying on cooperative interactions with other Rabs and their effectors.
Rab9 plays a role in conditions like Niemann-Pick disease type C and some neurological disorders. Disruption in Rab9 function may affect lipid trafficking and lead to accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes. This links Rab9 indirectly to proteins such as NPC1 which is known to be implicated in cholesterol homeostasis. Understanding Rab9's involvement can help inform therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways in related diseases.
