| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Anti-Gapex-5 recognizes human Gapex-5. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Rab5-activating protein 6 (RAP6) or Gapex-5 is an evolutionary conserved protein and its C-terminal Vps9 domain is responsible for the interaction with guanosine diphosphate GDP bound Rab5 and an N-terminal Ras GTPase-accelerating proteins (GAP) domain. Gapex-5 has guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity specific for Rab5 and GAP activity specific for Ras. It is involved in multiple processes including receptor-mediated endocytosis, insulin receptor internalization and glucose transporter type 4 (Glut4) trafficking in adipocytes. RAP6 is also essential for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) trafficking and degradation and phagosome maturation. |

| General description: | GTPase-activating protein and VPS9 domain-containing protein 1 (GAPVD1) also called Rab5-activating protein 6 (RAP6) or Gapex-5 gene is mapped to the human chromosome 9q33.3. It has a carboxy-terminal Vps9-like domain and an amino-terminal Ras GTPase-accelerating proteins (GAP)-like domain. GAPVD1 is present in the plasma membrane and endosomes. |
| Physical form: | Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide. |
| Preparation Note: | Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, the product may be stored at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots at –20 °C. Storage in “frost-free” freezers is also not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours. |
