Anti-C9orf72 antibody [EPR22021] - BSA and Azide free

Target data

Acts as a guanine-nucleotide releasing factor (GEF) for Rab GTPases by promoting the conversion of inactive RAB-GDP to the active form RAB-GTP (PubMed : 27103069, PubMed : 27193190, PubMed : 27617292, PubMed : 28195531, PubMed : 37821429). Acts as a GEF for RAB39A which enables HOPS-mediated autophagosome-lysosome membrane tethering and fusion in mammalian autophagy (PubMed : 37821429). Component of the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex where both subunits display GEF activity and that regulates autophagy (PubMed : 27103069, PubMed : 27193190, PubMed : 27617292, PubMed : 28195531). As part of the C9orf72-SMCR8-WDR41 (CSW) complex, functions as GEF for RAB8A and RAB39B, thereby promoting autophagosome maturation (PubMed : 27103069). As part of the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex, also functions as GTPase activating protein (GAP) for RAB8A and RAB11A in vitro (PubMed : 32303654). The C9orf72-SMCR8 complex also acts as a regulator of autophagy initiation by interacting with the ULK1/ATG1 kinase complex and modulating its protein kinase activity (PubMed : 27617292). Promotes initiation of autophagy by regulating the RAB1A-dependent trafficking of the ULK1/ATG1 kinase complex to the phagophore which leads to autophagosome formation (PubMed : 27334615). Acts as a regulator of mTORC1 signaling by promoting phosphorylation of mTORC1 substrates (PubMed : 27559131). Plays a role in endosomal trafficking (PubMed : 24549040). May be involved in regulating the maturation of phagosomes to lysosomes (By similarity). Promotes the lysosomal localization and lysosome-mediated degradation of CARM1 which leads to inhibition of starvation-induced lipid metabolism (By similarity). Regulates actin dynamics in motor neurons by inhibiting the GTP-binding activity of ARF6, leading to ARF6 inactivation (PubMed : 27723745). This reduces the activity of the LIMK1 and LIMK2 kinases which are responsible for phosphorylation and inactivation of cofilin, leading to CFL1/cofilin activation (PubMed : 27723745). Positively regulates axon extension and axon growth cone size in spinal motor neurons (PubMed : 27723745). Required for SMCR8 protein expression and localization at pre- and post-synaptic compartments in the forebrain, also regulates protein abundance of RAB3A and GRIA1/GLUR1 in post-synaptic compartments in the forebrain and hippocampus (By similarity). Plays a role within the hematopoietic system in restricting inflammation and the development of autoimmunity (By similarity).. Isoform 1. Regulates stress granule assembly in response to cellular stress.. Isoform 2. Does not play a role in regulation of stress granule assembly in response to cellular stress.
