Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CHML. AA range:128-177
Specificity
REP-2 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of REP-2 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB: 1/500 - 1/2000. IHC: 1/100 - 1/300. ELISA: 1/5000.. IF 1:50-200
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
The product of the CHML gene supports geranylgeranylation of most Rab proteins and may substitute for REP-1 in tissues other than retina. CHML is localized close to the gene for Usher syndrome type II. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Binds unprenylated Rab proteins, presents it to the catalytic Rab GGTase dimer, and remains bound to it after the geranylgeranyl transfer reaction. The component A is thought to be regenerated by transferring its prenylated Rab back to the donor membrane. Less effective than REP-1 in supporting prenylation of Rab3 family.,miscellaneous:Substitutes for REP-1 thereby preventing widespread tissue abnormalities in patients with choroideremia who lack REP-1.,similarity:Belongs to the Rab GDI family.,subunit:Monomer. Interacts with Rab and Rab GGTase.,
