RalA/RalB Antibody

Western blot shows lysates of U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line and NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat RalA/RalB Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3204) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). For additional reference, recombinant human RalA and RalB (5 ng/lane) were included. A specific band for RalA/RalB was detected at approximately 25 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Alternate Names for RalA/RalB Antibody

• MGC48949
• RAL
• RalA/RalB
• Ras family small GTP binding protein RALA
• RAS-like protein A
• ras-related protein Ral-A
• v-ral simian leukemia viral oncogene homolog A (ras related)

Background

The Ras-like proteins RalA and RalB share 85% identity and constitute a grouping within the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. Like other GTPases, Ral proteins transduce signals by cycling between an active GTP-bound and an inactive GDP-bound state. Ral functions as an effector of Ras-mediated signaling, and has been implicated in the regulation of vesicle trafficking and cell morphology.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
