Rabbit anti-Human ARL4A Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P40617

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ARL4A

Target Full Name

ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 4A

Target Function

Small GTP-binding protein which cycles between an inactive GDP-bound and an active GTP-bound form, and the rate of cycling is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAP). GTP-binding protein that does not act as an allosteric activator of the cholera toxin catalytic subunit. Recruits CYTH1, CYTH2, CYTH3 and CYTH4 to the plasma membrane in GDP-bound form.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=Localization in the nucleolus is dependent by nucleotide binding.

Target Protein Families

Small GTPase superfamily, Arf family

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

ADP ribosylation factor like 4; ADP ribosylation factor like 4A; ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 4A; ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 4A; ARL 4; ARL4; Arl4a; ARL4A_HUMAN

Target Background

ADP-ribosylation factor-like 4A is a member of the ADP-ribosylation factor family of GTP-binding proteins. ARL4A is similar to ARL4C and ARL4D and each has a nuclear localization signal and an unusually high guaninine nucleotide exchange rate. ARL4A is located in both the nuclear and extranuclear cell compartments. Multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
