Rab7a

Manufactured by Addgene

RAB7a is a small GTPase protein that plays a key role in the regulation of late endosome and lysosome trafficking. It is involved in the maturation and function of these organelles, as well as in the transport of cargo between them. RAB7a is a widely used marker for late endosomes and lysosomes in cell biology research.

Retroviral Expression Vectors for SHP2 and PTP1B

Retroviral expression vectors for wild type SHP2 (WT SHP2) and C459E SHP2 (SHP2C459E) were generated by subcloning human PTPN11 complementary DNA (cDNA) into pMSCV-IRES-EGFP (Clontech). pSUPER-puro-based control shRNA or shPTPN1 retroviral expression vectors were designed to target 5′-CCGCCCAGAGGAGCTATATTC-3′ or 5′-CCGCCCAAAGGAGTTACATTC-3′, respectively, as reported49 (link). Expression vectors for WT mPTP1B or mPTP1BC215S were generated by subcloning the appropriate cDNAs into the lentiviral expression vector pFB-neo. Expression vectors for EGFP-fused RAB5A, RAB7A, RAB9A, and RAB11A and pEGFP-WT Dynamin2 and Dynamin2K44A were purchased from Addgene. A cDNA of mouse catalase that lacks its peroxisome-targeting sequence was purchased from Addgene, and subcloned into pMSCV-IRES-EGFP, adding a start codon followed by a FLAG-tag encoding sequence at the 5′ end. Expression vectors for HyPer3-tk, HyPer3-RAB5, and HyPer3-RAB7 were generated by fusing cDNAs for either the human KRAS C-terminal sequence, human RABA5A or RAB7A (Addgene) to the 3′ end of HyPer3 cDNA, respectively. All constructs were confirmed by DNA sequencing.

Validation of PTAR1 antibody specificity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A rabbit polyclonal antibody against the peptide corresponding to amino acids 339 to 359 (CDGLNDSSKQGYSQETKRLKRT) of human PTAR1 primary sequence was custom made by YenZyme antibodies, LLC, CA 94080. The specificity of the antibody was validated by silencing PTAR1 in primary fibroblasts NHFs and HEK293T cell lines (Supplementary Fig. 1A). Antibodies were from Abcam (FNTA, FNTB), Abnova (PGGT1B), Bethyl (RabGGTB), Aviva Biosystems (RabGGTA), Sigma (anti-FLAG M2, anti-FLAG, β-actin), Santa Cruz Biotechnology (SKP1), and Covance (anti-HA). A polyclonal rabbit antibody to FBXL2 was generated using a peptide against FBXL2 as previously described27 (link). Human cDNA ORFs for PTAR1, FNTA, and RabGGTA were purchased from Origene. GFP-tagged cDNA of RAB1a, RAB7a, RAB11, RAB34, and RAB35 were obtained from Addgene. The variously tagged-genes and mutants were generated in pcDNA3 and pEGFPC1 vectors either by sub-cloning or site-directed mutagenesis methodologies, as described.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
