Anti-Raver1 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

The protein ribonucleoprotein, PTB binding 1 (Raver1), also known as ribonucleoprotein polypyrimidine tract-binding (PTB) protein 1, is a widely expressed multidomain protein. Raver1 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. The RAVER1 gene is mapped to human chromosome 19p13.2.

Anti-Raver1 (N-terminal) recognizes human Raver1.

Anti-Raver1 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for:

• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunofluorescence

The protein ribonucleoprotein, PTB binding 1 (Raver1) is identified in two-hybrid screens by its ability to interact and colocalize with the cytoskeletal proteins α-actinin and vinculin. In skeletal muscle, the shuttling of Raver1 from nucleus to cytoplasm is associated 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 restricted synthesis of adhesion complexes by the translational machinery.

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

Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, store 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.
