Anti-ARFGEF1 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene ARFGEF1 (ADP ribosylation factor guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1), also referred to as BIG1 (brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein), is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that acts on trans-Golgi. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 8.

Anti-ARFGEF1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunofluorescence. All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

The gene ARFGEF1 (ADP ribosylation factor guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1) encodes an ADP-ribosylation factor that catalyzes the replacement of bound GDP with GTP via the activation of class I ADP-ribosylation factors (ARF1-3). This process is necessary for the regulation of protein transport in eukaryotic cells. It also functions as a scaffolding protein and interacts with various proteins in other compartments of the cell. Knock-down of BIG1 and BIG2, a closely related guanine-nucleotide exchange factor, results in disruption of localization of certain proteins associated with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and recycling endosomes. The retrograde transport of furin from late endosomes to the TGN is also inhibited in the absences of these two proteins.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
