Anti-Rab9/RAB9A Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Ras-related protein Rab-9A, also called RAB9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB9A gene. This gene is mapped to Xp22.2. RAB9 has been localized to components of the endocytic/exocytic pathway and has been implicated in recycling of membrane receptors. It has been found that downregulation of RAB9A gene expression in HeLa cells induced severe cell vacuolation. RAB9A GTPase is ly bound by TIP47 in its active, GTP-bound conformation. Moreover, RAB9A increases the affinity of TIP47 for its cargo. What's more, this gene may involved in the transport of proteins between the endosomes and the trans Golgi network. RAB9A has been shown to interact with RABEPK and TIP47.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Rab9, identical to the related rat sequence, and different from the related mouse sequence by one amino acid.
