General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-05533) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human CHM, targeting the amino acid region 69–110 of the protein. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. CHM (Choroideremia protein) is also named as Rab escort protein 1 (REP-1), TCD and Rab proteins geranylgeranyltransferase component A 1. Choroideremia (CHM) is an X-linked recessive eye disease that is caused by null mutations in REP-1, a gene involved in the regulation of Rab GTPases and intracellular vesicular transport (PMID: 9067750, PMID: 16936131). REP-1 is involved in trafficking of Rab proteins in the cell. And REP-1 binds newly synthesized Rab proteins and presents them to the catalytic site of RabGGTase (PMID: 19427510). RAB-27 in several neurons, such as motor neurons at neuromuscular junctions, requires REP-1 for normal synaptic transmission responsible for aldicarb sensitivity (PMID: 19090809). REP-1 acts as a component of the protein complex. There are two similar Rab escort proteins (75% sequence identity): REP-1 and REP-2. A 95-kDa protein (previously designated component A and now called REP-1) is present (PMID: 8294464, PMID: 17140818).
DPABH-05533 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:500–1:3,000), IHC (1:50–1:500), IF/ICC (1:200–1:800) applications.
DPABH-05533 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.
