Rabbit anti-Human RAB4A Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P20338

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RAB4A

Target Full Name

Ras-related protein Rab-4A

Target Function

Small GTPase which cycles between an active GTP-bound and an inactive GDP-bound state. Involved in protein transport. Plays a role in vesicular traffic. Mediates VEGFR2 endosomal trafficking to enhance VEGFR2 signaling. Acts as a regulator of platelet alpha-granule release during activation and aggregation of platelets.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Recycling endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Small GTPase superfamily, Rab family

Target Background

This gene is a member of the largest group in the Ras superfamily of small GTPases, which regulate membrane trafficking. The encoded protein is associated with early endosomes and is involved in their sorting and recycling. The protein also plays a role in regulating the recycling of receptors from endosomes to the plasma membrane. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.
