A18073A_Purified_RAB8_Antibody_1_050619.png
Western blot of purified anti-Rab8 antibody (clone A18073A). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20µg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 20µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 4: 20µg of rat brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.

    ICC staining of purified anti-Rab8 antibody (clone A18073A) on HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with a buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and 0.25% BSA, and blocked with 2% normal goat serum and 0.02% BSA. The cells were then incubated with 5 µg/ml of the primary antibody for overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 2.5 µg/ml of Alexa Fluor® 647 goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405322) for one hour at room temperature. Flash Phalloidin™ Green 488 (Cat. No. 424201) was used to stain the F-actin cytoskeleton. The slide was mounted with fluoromount-G with DAPI.

Description

Rab8 is a small GTP/GDP binding protein that belongs to the RAS superfamily. It is well established that Rab8 is an important participant of macroautophagy, and is essential for several apical transport pathways. Recruitment of Rab8a and TBK1 by the autophagy receptor optineurin initiates the autophagy process at specific protein aggregate site, which leads to the clearance of aggregated protein. Recent studies on C9ORF72, the gene that most commonly mutated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia (ALS-FTD), show that the C9ORF72/SMCR8/WDR41 complex acts as a GDP/GTP exchange factor for Rab8a, which facilitates the interaction between Rab8a and the autophagy receptor optineurin4.
