Anti-A-Raf antibody [EPR16208] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab200653 was shown to bind specifically to A-Raf. A band was observed at 67 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in A-Raf knockout cell line ab286752. To generate this image, wild-type and A-Raf knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution. This data was developed using ab200653, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Supplementary information

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.
