Western blot - Human A-Raf knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB266351)

Lanes 1-4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab200653 observed at 68 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 36 kDa.

ab200653 Anti-A-Raf antibody [EPR16208] was shown to specifically react with A-Raf in wild-type HEK-293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266351 (knockout cell lysate ab257838) was used. Wild-type and A-Raf knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab200653 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4° at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The A-Raf protein also called ARAF is a serine/threonine-protein kinase with a molecular mass of about 68 kDa. Scientists frequently refer to it with names like A-Raf or anti A-Raf when discussing its function. A-Raf is expressed in various tissues with higher levels found in the urogenital system and the central nervous system. This protein plays an important role in cellular signal transduction processes influencing cell proliferation and differentiation through phosphorylation activity.
Biological function summary

The A-Raf protein participates in the regulation of cell growth and survival. It forms part of the MAPK/ERK signaling cascade which is essential for transmitting mitogenic signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. A-Raf acts as a modulator within this complex impacting the overall signaling output. The protein is intimately involved in the regulation of the developmental processes influencing cell fate and function.

Pathways

The A-Raf protein is central to the MAPK/ERK pathway a critical signaling pathway involved in the regulation of cellular responses to growth signals. This pathway includes key components like the proteins B-Raf and C-Raf with A-Raf playing specific roles in the modulation and fine-tuning of this signal transmission. It helps mediate signals that control cell division differentiation and secretion ensuring appropriate cellular responses to external stimuli.

Aberrations in A-Raf functions have been linked to cancers particularly urogenital cancers due to its role in uncontrolled cell proliferation. Faulty A-Raf activity can also contribute to neurological disorders because of its expression in the central nervous system and involvement in neuronal signaling pathways. In these contexts it can interact with proteins like B-Raf which are important for maintaining normal cellular signaling and preventing tumorigenesis and neurodegenerative disorders.
