Epitope: internal

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350785

Additional Information

Alternative name: Ras-related protein Rab-7a (RAB7A, RAB7) (internal region)

Swiss-Prot: P51149

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the internal part of human Ras-related protein Rab-7a (RAB7A, RAB7) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in mouse and xenopus.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Involved in late endocytic transport. Contributes to the maturation of phagosomes (acidification). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Late endosome. Lysosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome. Melanosome. Note: Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed; high expression found in skeletal muscle. DISEASE: Defects in RAB7A are the cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B (CMT2B) also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy II (HMSN2). CMT2B is a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, the most common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathy or CMT1, and primary peripheral axonal neuropathy or CMT2. Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal regeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. CMT2B is clinically characterized by marked distal muscle weakness and a high frequency of foot ulcers, infections and amputations of the toes. CMT2B inheritance is autosomal dominant. Also known as: RAB7A, RAB7.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for RAB7.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. Use at a dilution of 1:300 to 1: 2000. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
