Rab5 antibody - 108 111

Rab5 is a GTP-binding protein involved in endocytosis
Mouse monoclonal purified IgG
Cat. No.: 108 111
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $415.00
Cat. No. 108 111 100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

WB: 1 : 1000 up to 1 : 10000 (AP staining) gallery  
IP: yes
ICC: 1 : 100 up to 1 : 1000 (see remarks) gallery  
IHC: 1 : 50 up to 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC-P: not tested yet

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.

Clone 621.4
Subtype IgG2a (κ light chain)
Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to AA 1 to 215 from rat Rab5 (UniProt Id: O88565)
Reactivity Reacts with: human (Q9UJ41), rat (M0RC99), mouse (Q9JM13).
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for rab 5 (probably only rab 5a). No cross-reactivity to other rab proteins.
Remarks

This antibody was used very successfully for immunoisolation of early endosomes and for the differentiation of early endosomes from related trafficking organelles in neurons and nonneuronal cells.
ICCNot suitable for ICC of aldehyde- fixed cells. Methanol fixation is recommended.

Background
Rab 5 is a member of the Rab protein family that belongs to the ras-related superfamily of small monomeric GTPases. Rab 5 is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues where it functions in the fusion of early endosomes which is the first fusion step of endocytic organelles after their formation and detachment from the plasma membrane. It is presently the best marker with selectivity for this compartment.
