Target

  • Function
    Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAP1A, RAP1B and RAP2A small GTPases that is activated by binding cAMP. Seems not to activate RAB3A. Involved in cAMP-dependent, PKA-independent exocytosis through interaction with RIMS2.
  • Tissue specificity
    Predominantly expressed in brain and adrenal gland. Isoform 2 is expressed in liver. Isoform 1 is expressed in liver at very low levels.
  • Sequence similarities
    Contains 2 cyclic nucleotide-binding domains.
    Contains 1 DEP domain.
    Contains 1 N-terminal Ras-GEF domain.
    Contains 1 Ras-GEF domain.
  • Domain
    The N-terminal nucleotide phosphate binding region cAMP 1 has a much lower affinity for cAMP as compared to cAMP 2.
    The DEP domain is involved in membrane localization independent from regulation by cAMP.
  • Cellular localization
    Cytoplasm. Membrane.

    ab21238 staining Epac2 in the bronchial surface epithelial 16HBE14o- cell line by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were rinsed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes at 4°C, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 minutes and blocked with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) in PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in PBS + 10% FCS) overnight at 4°C. An Alex Fluor®568-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. The corresponding image taken in brightfield is shown on the right.

Hello,
Thank you for your prompt reply, and here is the info you asked for:
1- I loaded 30ug of protein.
2- My blocking agent was 5% milk diluted in TBST; this was also what I used to dilute my primary antibody.
3- Actually, I have ...

Thank you for providing that information.

Both the Abreview and the reference that are on the webpage for ab21238 use 5% BSA as a blocking agent and I am wondering if using that rather than 5% milk will help get a signal.

I would ad...
