PRA1 Knockout HeLa Cell Lysate Summary

• Preparation Method: Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9,-1 bp deletion in exon1
• Gene: RABAC1

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Western Blot
• Application Notes: You will receive 1 vial (100ug) of knockout cell lysate and 1 vial (100ug) of Parental cell lysate. Lysate can be diluted with 1X SDS sample buffer and will be stable at -20 degrees C for 12 months. Minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at -20C short term. Aliquot and store at -80C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
• Buffer: 0.1 mg cell homogenate lyophilized in RIPA buffer made with double-knockout cell lines.
• Concentration: LYOPH
• Reconstitution Instructions: To use as WB negative control, spin down briefly and resuspend in 100 uL 1xSDS sample buffer (2% SDS, 60 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.02% Bromophenol blue, 60 mM beta-mercaptoethanol). Boil the lysate for 3 - 5 minutes before loading it onto gel.

Lysate Details for Array

• Type: Knockout HeLa Cell

Notes

Powered by EDIGENE.
Validation of antibody specificity is critical and verification of antibody performance against knockout samples is one way to guarantee that an antibody recognizes a specific target. Novus' KO cell lysate can be used as a negative control for western blots and to confirm the specificity of antibodies.

Alternate Names for PRA1 Knockout HeLa Cell Lysate

• PRA1 family protein 1
• PRA1PRA1 domain family 1
• PRAF1prenylated Rab acceptor 1
• prenylated Rab acceptor protein 1
• Rab acceptor 1 (prenylated)
• YIP3

Background

PRA1 (prenylated Rab acceptor) is a general regulator of Rab proteins. It has been shown that PRA1 interacts with Rab proteins and with VAMP2. Therefore PRA1 is probably an important factor for membrane traffic, linking together the function of Rab proteins and SNAREs (1). Human cells contain more than 60 small G proteins of the Rab family, which are localized to the surfaces of distinct membrane compartments and regulate transport vesicle formation, motility, docking and fusion. Prenylated Rabs also occur in the cytosol bound to GDI (guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor), which binds to Rabs in their inactive state (2).
