Anti-DOCK1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 1 (DOCK1), also termed as the DOCK180 gene, is mapped to human chromosome 10q26.2. DOCK1 is a member of a family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF).

Anti-DOCK1 (C-terminal) specifically recognizes human, rat, and mouse DOCK1.

Anti-DOCK1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.

Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 1 (DOCK1) is involved in cytoskeletal reorganization and cell migration and acts as an activator of Rac. DOCK1 has been found to undergo ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation, a process enhanced in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), adapter molecule (Crk) and adhesion-dependent signals. DOCK1 forms a complex with engulfment and cell motility protein 1 (ELMO1) which also inhibits ubiquitylation of DOCK1. By activating the β1 and α_vβ5 integrins, DOCK1 regulates cell motility, filopodia formation, and phagocytosis. DOCK1 has been suggested to play a central role in netrin signaling during neuronal development by mediating the attractive responses by neurons to netrin-1. It mediates morphological changes such as integrin-mediated cell spreading and nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth. In mammalian cells, the CrkII-ELMO1-DOCK1 complex has been shown to promote phagocytosis.

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, the product may be stored at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots at –20 °C. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
