Target

  • Relevance
    Clathrin mediated endocytosis is the pathway by which many receptors for nutrients and hormones are internalized to be recycled or down regulated. During formation of clathrin coated membranes, clathrin co assembles with heterotetrameric molecules known as assembly polypeptides (APs) or adaptors which form a layer of protein coat between the clathrin lattice and the membrane. There are two characterized adaptors AP1 and AP2. AP1 is associated with clathrin coated vesicles at the trans Golgi network and AP2 is associated with the endocytic clathrin coated vesicles at the plasma membrane and has been shown to specifically interact with Shc and EGF receptor. AP2 is composed of four subunits, two separate 100 kDa gene products with similar domain structures (alpha and beta adaptin) and a 50 and 17 kDa subunit. There are two alpha adaptin genes, alpha A and alpha C which have a tissue specific pattern of expression.

    ab2730 used in Western Blot at a 1/1000 dilution.
    Sucrose density gradient fractionation of detergent resistant cell lysates from WT and DHHC5-GT murine neuronal stem cells. The isolation of detergent-resistant membranes was performed according to a previously published protocol. NSCs growing in growth medium (~300 µl of packed cells) were harvested and washed three times with ice-cold PBS. The cells were gently resuspended by pipetting up and down in 700 µl of 1% Triton X-100 in HEPES buffer (25 mm HEPES-HCl, pH 6.5, 150 mm NaCl, 1 mm EDTA, and protease inhibitor mixture), homogenized using a Teflon-coated Dounce homogenizer (30 strokes), then incubated on ice for 30 min, and fractionated on a sucrose density gradient. The fractions were collected from top (fraction 1) to bottom (fraction 13) and analyzed by immunoblotting. The results shown were from one of two independent experiments giving similar results. a-Adaptin is a marker for clathrin-coated vesicles.
