Anti-Early Endosomal Antigen 1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Anti-Early Endosomal Antigen 1 (C-terminal), is produced in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 1391-1410 of human EEA1, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), as immunogen. Early Endosomal Antigen 1 (EEA1) is a 162 kDa autoantigen, which encodes for around 1400 amino acid proteins. EEA1 is a dimer, which comprises extensive coiled-coil regions. At its C-terminus, it contains a cysteine-rich zinc-finger-like domain named FYVE domain. The gene Early Endosome Antigen 1 (EEA1) encodes for around 1400 amino acid proteins

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 1391-1410 of human EEA1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse.

Application

Anti-Early Endosomal Antigen 1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• fluorescent staining
• confocal laser scanning microscopy
• immunoprecipitation
• indirect immunofluorescence microscopy
• fluorescence microscopy
• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti- Early Endosomal Antigen 1 (EEA1) may be used as an early endosome marker. The binding of EEA1 to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) and Rab5-GTP is essential for the localization and function of EEA1 in endocytic membrane fusion. It is associated with subacute systemic lupus erythematosus that specifically localized to early endosomes.

The gene Early Endosome Antigen 1 (EEA1) encodes for around 1400 amino acid proteins. It is a peripheral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic side of early endosomes. EEA1 controls vesicle fusion during endocytosis. In neurons, it is involved in recycling of synaptic vesicles and neurotransmitter receptors. Patients with neurological deficits develop EEA1 autoantibodies. Mutation in EEA1 gene leads to susceptibility to diabetes in the Japanese population.
