EXOC1 Polyclonal Antibody, APC-Cy5.5 Conjugated

Exocytosis is crucial in membrane trafficking and it mediates hormone and neurotransmitter secretion out of the cell, as well as the incorporation of membrane proteins and lipids to the plasma membrane. It is crucial for cell-cell communication, cell growth and cell polarity. The exocyst complex is a multi-protein complex that consists of Sec3, Sec5, Sec6, Sec8, Sec10, Sec15, Exo70 and Exo84, and is essential for targeting exocytic vesicles to specific docking sites on the plasma membrane. Exo70, also known as EXOC7 (exocyst complex component 7), EXOC1 or 2-5-3p, is a 735 amino acid peripheral membrane protein that is a component of the exocyst complex. Localized to the cytoplasm and the cell membrane, Exo70 plays an essential role in the docking of exocystic vesicles to target sites on the plasma membrane and, specifically, may be involved in insulin-induced protein docking within the cell. Four isoforms of Exo70 are expressed due to alternative splicing events.
