Anti-RAVER1 antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-RAVER1 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma RAV1 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1) and splenocytes from mouse immunized with a peptide corresponding to a fragment of human RAVER1. Raver1, also known as ribonucleoprotein PTB-binding 1, is a widely expressed multidomain protein, identified in two-hybrid screens by its ability to interact and colocalize with the cytoskeletal proteins -actinin and vinculin. The protein is composed of three RNA recognition motifs (RRM) and of nuclear localization and nuclear export signals, allowing it to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Raver1 also colocalizes with PTB/hnRNPI.

Monoclonal Anti-RAVER1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting.

RAVER1 (ribonucleoprotein, PTB binding 1) is involved in RNA splicing of microfilament proteins. In skeletal muscle, a translocation of Raver1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is correlated with the differentiation of specific microfilament attachment sites. Based on an analysis of Vinculin-Raver1 crystal structure it was suggested that vinculin recruits raver1 and its mRNAs cargo to focal adhesions, promoting localization of the synthesis of adhesion complexes by the translational machinery.
