This data was developed using ab314539, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation. Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% Paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% TritonX-100 permeabilized MEF (mouse embryo fibroblast) cells labelling A-Raf with ab314539 at 1/100 (5.35 ug/ml) dilution, followed by ab150081 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed antibody at 1/1006 (2ug/ml) dilution (Green). Confocal image showing mitochondrial staining in MEF cells. Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8). Anti-COX IV mouse monoclonal antibody - Mitochondrial Marker was used to counterstain at 1/200 (2.5ug/ml) dilution (Red). The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue). Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is ab150081 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1006 (2ug/ml) dilution.

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.
