RAB25 blocking peptide
RAB25 Antibody (Center) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAS superfamily of small GTPases. The encoded protein is involved in membrane trafficking and cell survival. This gene has been found to be a tumor suppressor and an oncogene, depending on the context. Two variants, one protein-coding and the other not, have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
RAB25: Involved in the regulation of cell survival. Promotes invasive migration of cells in which it functions to localize and maintain integrin alpha-V/beta-1 at the tips of extending pseudopodia. Increases the rates of ovarian and breast cancers progression and aggressiveness by modulating cellular processes such as proliferation, survival and migration of epithelial tumor cells. May selectively regulate the apical recycling pathway. Together with MYO5B regulates transcytosis. Interacts with RAB11FIP1, RAB11FIP2, RAB11FIP3 and RAB11FIP4. Interacts (via the hypervariable C-terminal region) with ITGB1 (via the cytoplasmic region); the interaction is GTP- dependent. Interacts with ITGAV. Associates with the integrin alpha-V/beta-1 heterodimer. Expressed in ovarian epithelium (NOE) and breast tissue. Expressed in ovarian cancer; expression is increased relative to NOE cells. Expression in ovarian cancer is stage dependent, with stage III and stage IV showing higher levels than early stage cancers. Expressed in breast cancer; expression is increased relative to normal breast tissue. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
