RAB8A blocking peptide
RAB8A Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAS superfamily which are small GTP/GDP-binding proteins with an average size of 200 amino acids. The RAS-related proteins of the RAB/YPT family may play a role in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and the plasma membrane. This protein shares 97%, 96%, and 51% similarity with the dog RAB8, mouse MEL, and mouse YPT1 proteins, respectively and contains the 4 GTP/GDP-binding sites that are present in all the RAS proteins. The putative effector-binding site of this protein is similar to that of the RAB/YPT proteins. However, this protein contains a C-terminal CAAX motif that is characteristic of many RAS superfamily members but which is not found in YPT1 and the majority of RAB proteins. Although this gene was isolated as a transforming gene from a melanoma cell line, no linkage between MEL and malignant melanoma has been demonstrable. This oncogene is located 800 kb distal to MY09B on chromosome 19p13.1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
RAB8A: May be involved in vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Together with RAB11A, RAB3IP, the exocyst complex, PARD3, PRKCI, ANXA2, CDC42 and DNMBP promotes transcytosis of PODXL to the apical membrane initiation sites (AMIS), apical surface formation and lumenogenesis. Together with MYO5B and RAB11A participates in epithelial cell polarization. Interacts with MAP4K2 and SYTL4. Interacts with SGSM1 and SGSM3. Interacts with OPTN. Interacts with RAB3IP. Interacts with MYO5B. Interacts with PIFO/C1orf88. Interacts with BIRC6/bruce. Interacts with OCRL. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.

Product Notes
The RAB8A rab8a (Catalog #AAA426539) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The RAB8A Immunizing Peptide reacts with Human, Dog, Cow and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: C-NQGVKITP DQQKR. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RAB8A, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
