RAB8A Knockout HeLa Cell Lysate Summary

• Preparation Method: Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9,423 bp deletion in exon 1
• Gene: RAB8A

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.

Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAS superfamily which are small GTP/GDP-binding proteins with an average size of 200 amino acids. The RAS-related proteins of the RAB/YPT family may play a role in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and the plasma membrane. This protein shares 97%, 96%, and 51% similarity with the dog RAB8, mouse MEL, and mouse YPT1 proteins, respectively and contains the 4 GTP/GDP-binding sites that are present in all the RAS proteins. The putative effector-binding site of this protein is similar to that of the RAB/YPT proteins. However, this protein contains a C-terminal CAAX motif that is characteristic of many RAS superfamily members but which is not found in YPT1 and the majority of RAB proteins. Although this gene was isolated as a transforming gene from a melanoma cell line, no linkage between MEL and malignant melanoma has been demonstrable. This oncogene is located 800 kb distal to MY09B on chromosome 19p13.1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
