Relevance 

Rab5 is a 24 kDa GTP-binding protein that regulates the fusion of plasma membrane-derived clathrin-coated vesicles with early endosomes and homotypic fusion among early endosomes. It is localized to the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane, clathrin coated vesicles and early endosomes. Rab5 is believed to regulate vesicle fusion through a cycle of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. The different guanine nucleotide binding states of Rab5 is postulated to affect its ability to associate or dissociate with membranes during endocytotic membrane traffic. Its GTP-bound form, which represents the active form of Rab5, associates with membrane and regulates vesicle docking and fusion. Studies using a Rab5 mutant that hydrolysed xanthosine 5'-triphosphate (XTP) indicated that nucleotide hydrolysis occurs even in the absence of membrane fusion. GTP hydrolysis by Rab5 is postulated to determine the frequency of membrane docking and fusion events.

ICC/IF image of ab18211 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab18211, 1µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Image-iTTM FX Signal Enhancer was used as the primary blocking agent, 5% BSA (in TBS-T) was used for all other blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red).

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Rab5 antibody - Early Endosome Marker (ab18211)

ab18211 at 1/300 staining adult rat brain (perfusion fixed) tissue sections by IHC-Fr. Adult rat was perfused intracardially with paraformaldehyde 4% in PB 0.2M. The brain was post-fixed in the same fixative for 24 hours. Sections were cryoprotected with sucrose 20% and later frozen in OCT. Sections were incubated in free floating for 12h with the primary antibody (1/300) and later revealed with secondary antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor ® 488 (1/2000).

The staining obtained is restricted to the cytoplasm and consists of a small and thin punctate staining. The picture shows the staining obtained at the level of the spinal cord using the X20 objective and zooming on two particular neurons.
