Mouse Anti-Chicken Ras-Related Protein Rab-2A Monoclonal Antibody

Rab-2A, a member of the RAS oncogene family, is a small GTPase enzyme that is integral to the regulation of vesicular transport within the cell. It plays a pivotal role in the early secretory pathway, specifically in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. As a molecular switch, RAB2A cycles between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state, enabling it to recruit and interact with various effector proteins that facilitate the correct sorting and trafficking of vesicles. This precise regulation is critical for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis.
