Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

RAB31 also known as RAB22B belongs to the RAB family which plays an important role in vesicular trafficking. It is a small GTPase with a mass of approximately 23 kDa. RAB31 is mainly expressed in epithelial tissues and certain cancer cell lines. It regulates vesicle formation movement and fusion by cycling between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state. This cycling is important for its function in the intracellular transport system.
RAB31 influences early endosome dynamics and directly impacts the sorting and recycling of receptors. It associates with effector proteins to form protein complexes that facilitate endocytosis and exocytosis processes. It also interacts with other Rab proteins to ensure proper membrane specificity and temporal regulation within cellular compartments. This behavior highlights its role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and responsiveness to environmental changes.
Studies have shown that RAB31 contributes significantly to the endocytic pathway and the insulin signaling pathway. It has functional interactions with proteins like RAB5 and RAB11 both of which are key regulators of endosomal trafficking. RAB31 ensures a proper transport cycle that influences receptor recycling and signaling impacting how cells respond to growth factors and hormones.
Research implicates RAB31 in the progression of certain cancers such as breast cancer due to its established role in vesicle trafficking and receptor recycling which can affect cell growth and division. Its altered expression levels may intersect with proteins such as EGFR leading to abnormal signaling cascades. Furthermore RAB31 has associations with metabolic disorders as disruptions in insulin signaling pathways may contribute to diabetes showcasing its diverse influence on human health.
