General Notes
This product (Catalog No. CABT-BL336) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human ARL8A, targeting the amino acid region 1–186 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human ARL8A from mouse. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. ARL8A (ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 8A) is also named as ARL10B, GIE2 and belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. ARL8A is localized to lysosomes in mammalian cells (PMID: 16537643). In neurons, ARL8A mediates the anterograde axonal long-range transport of presynaptic lysosome-related vesicles that are required for presynaptic biogenesis and synaptic function. ARL8A is upregulated in many cancers such as endometrial cancer (PMID: 32070877), colorectal cancer (PMID: 30546056) and inflammatory breast cancer (PMID: 27648361), and has been associated with poor survival outcomes. ARL8A has a calculated molecular weight of 21 kDa.
CABT-BL336 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:500–1:1,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate), IHC (1:50–1:500) applications.
CABT-BL336 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
