RAB1A, member RAS oncogene family

The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different sets of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion. RAB1A regulates vesicular protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi compartment and on to the cell surface, and plays a role in IL-8 and growth hormone secretion. Regulates the level of CASR present at the cell membrane. Plays a role in cell adhesion and cell migration, via its role in protein trafficking. Plays a role in autophagosome assembly and cellular defense reactions against pathogenic bacteria. Plays a role in microtubule-dependent protein transport by early endosomes and in anterograde melanosome transport.

Assay Methodology: Quantitative Sandwich ELISA

Chemiluminescent

The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to RAB1A, Member RAS Oncogene Family (RAB1A). Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to RAB1A, Member RAS Oncogene Family (RAB1A). Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then the mixture of substrate A and B is added to generate glow light emission kinetics. Upon plate development, the intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the RAB1A, Member RAS Oncogene Family (RAB1A) level in the sample or standard.
