RAB25 Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P57735

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RAB25

Target Full Name

Ras-related protein Rab-25

Target Function

Involved in the regulation of cell survival. Promotes invasive migration of cells in which it functions to localize and maintain integrin alpha-V/beta-1 at the tips of extending pseudopodia. Involved in the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis through the control of CLDN4 expression and localization at tight junctions. May selectively regulate the apical recycling pathway. Together with MYO5B regulates transcytosis.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection, pseudopodium membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle.

Target Protein Families

Small GTPase superfamily, Rab family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in ovarian epithelium (NOE) and breast tissue. Expressed in ovarian cancer; expression is increased relative to NOE cells. Expression in ovarian cancer is stage dependent, with stage III and stage IV showing higher levels than early stage cancer

Target Synonyms

CATX 8; CATX-8; CATX8; RAB11C; RAB25; RAB25 member RAS oncogene family; RAB25_HUMAN; Ras related protein Rab 25 ; Ras-related protein Rab-25; RP11-336K24.10-001

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAS superfamily of small GTPases. The encoded protein is involved in membrane trafficking and cell survival. This gene has been found to be a tumor suppressor and an oncogene, depending on the context. Two variants, one protein-coding and the other not, have been found for this gene.
