Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for Ras-related protein Rab-7a(RAB7A) detection. Tested with WB in Human;Mouse;Rat. No cross reactivity with other proteins. Ras-related protein Rab-7a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB7A gene. RAB7A functions as a key regulator in endo-lysosomal trafficking, governs early-to-late endosomal maturation, microtubule minus-end as well as plus-end directed endosomal migration and positions, and endosome-lysosome transport through different protein-protein interaction cascades. Furthermore, RAB7A is involved in regulation of some specialized endosomal membrane trafficking, such as maturation of melanosomes through modulation of SOX10 and the oncogene MYC. Mutations in the lysosomal pathway result in tumor progression in melanoma cells.
