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.

RAB7 also known as RAB7A is a small GTPase belonging to the RAS oncogene family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 23 kDa. This protein plays an important role in the regulation of late endocytic trafficking. It is prominently expressed in the cytoplasmic compartments of various cell types and serves as an important late endosome marker. RAB7 controls the maturation of early endosomes into late endosomes and their subsequent fusion with lysosomes therefore influencing degradation pathways.
RAB7 affects various processes including autophagy cell signaling and pathogen infection response. It often functions as part of the endosomal machinery and forms complexes with other proteins like RAB3GAP1 and RILP. These complexes help mediate vesicle transport and membrane trafficking processes which are essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. RAB7 is significant in ensuring proper lysosomal positioning and function which is critical for cellular metabolism and degradation.
RAB7 integrates into the endocytic and autophagic pathways by facilitating the transport between endosomes and lysosomes. It connects with the PI3K/AKT pathway impacting cell proliferation and survival. RAB7 also interacts with the retromer complex influencing the retrieval of receptors from endosomes. Proteins like FYCO1 and Prostaglandin E2 synthase can also cooperate with RAB7 in these pathways further establishing its role in cellular dynamics and signaling.
RAB7 has associations with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B and cancer progression. Mutations in the RAB7 gene have been linked to neuropathic conditions leading to impaired motor and sensory function. In the context of cancer dysregulation of RAB7 expression can contribute to increased tumor growth and metastasis. RAB7 interacts with proteins such as MAPK and ARL8B which are involved in these diseases highlighting its importance in pathological conditions.
