Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Background
Rab 27 proteins are members of the Rab protein family that belongs to the ras-related superfamily of small monomeric GTPases. These proteins are involved in intracellular fusion reactions of vesicles or organelles with their target membranes. Two Rab 27 isoforms, Rab 27A and 27B, have been described so far.
Mutations in the Rab 27A gene have been shown to be responsible for the Griscelli syndrome characterized by pigment dilution of the hair and an uncontrolled T-lymphocyte and macrophage activation. This disorder is probably due to the dysfunction of melanosomes in melanocytes and lytic granules in CTLs. Additionally Rab 27A is located on mature insulin granules of pancreatic β-cells and is expressed in the pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris of the retina.
In patients who suffer from Griscelli syndrome because of missense mutations in the Rab 27A gene, Rab 27B is upregulated and partially compensates for Rab 27A dysfunction. Rab 27B also regulates amylase secretion in parotid acinar cells.
Recently it has been shown that Rab 27 is also involved in synaptic transmission in C. elegans.
