ab2900 was shown to recognize EEA1 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in EEA1 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and EEA1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab2900 and ab18058 (Mouse anti-Vinculin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Western blot - Anti-EEA1 antibody - Early Endosome Marker (AB2900)

This blot was produced using a 3-8% Tris Acetate gel under the TA buffer system. The gel was run at 150V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin (Lanes 1-3) or 3% Milk (Lanes 4-6) before being incubated with ab2900 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.

Abcam recommends using milk as the blocking agent. Abcam welcomes customer feedback and would appreciate any comments regarding this product and the data presented above.

Specificity

Detects a band at 180kDa that represents EEA1 in Western blotting on human cell lines (corresponds to results seen in Mu et al). Also detects a band at 100kDa, we are unsure as to the identity of this band. Immunofluorescence staining of EEA1 in HeLa cells yields a punctate staining pattern consistent with the cytoplasmic distribution of endosomes.  From Jan 2024, QC testing of replenishment batches of this polyclonal changed. All tested and expected application and reactive species combinations are still covered by our Abcam product promise. However, we no longer test all applications.

Supplementary information

EEA1 (Early Endosome Antigen 1) is an important protein involved in endosomal trafficking with a molecular weight of approximately 162 kDa. It is a cytoplasmic protein expressed in various cell types acting mainly as an endosome marker. This protein contains a FYVE domain which facilitates binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate on endosomal membranes. EEA1 also interacts with Rab5 a small GTPase contributing to the fusion of early endosomes.
Biological function summary

EEA1 plays a significant role in early endosomal pathways facilitating endocytic vesicle fusion. EEA1 does not usually work alone; it functions as part of a larger complex involving other endosomal proteins. This protein acts as a tethering molecule which stabilizes the interaction of vesicles with endosomes. By anchoring vesicles EEA1 ensures the correct delivery and sorting of cargo within the cell which is important for cellular homeostasis and signaling.

Pathways

EEA1 contributes to the endocytic pathway and receptor recycling. It ensures proper functioning of the endocytic recycling of receptors such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EEA1-mediated tethering is vital for these pathways and it works closely with proteins like Rab5 which regulate endocytic trafficking. Through these interactions EEA1 affects cellular processes by controlling the flow of signaling receptors and other molecules within the cell.

EEA1 dysfunction is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Abnormalities in its expression or function can disrupt endosomal trafficking leading to cellular stress and disease. For example in Alzheimer's disease impaired endosomal function involving EEA1 can contribute to amyloid-beta accumulation. In cancer altered EEA1 activity may contribute to aberrant receptor signaling which can promote unchecked cell division. The interplay with proteins like EGFR demonstrates EEA1's importance in maintaining cellular health and response mechanisms.
