Amino acids AKANINIEKAFLTLAEDILRKTPVKEPNSENVD of human RAB10 were used as the immunogen for the RAB10 antibody.
Ras-related protein Rab-10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB10 gene. RAB10 belongs to the RAS superfamily of small GTPases. And RAB proteins localize to exocytic and endocytic compartments and regulate intracellular vesicle trafficking. The RAB10 gene is mapped to chromosome 2p23.1-p22.3 by radiation hybrid analysis. It was found that the purified recombinant GAP domain of human AS160 showed GAP activity with RAB2A, RAB8A, RAB10, and RAB14, but not with 14 other RABs. Immunoblot analysis showed that these RABs associated with Glut4-positive vesicles in mouse adipocytes. Thereby, it concluded that AK160 functions as a RAB GAP and that RABs may participate in GLUT4 translocation.
