Preparation and Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

The Rab proteins are small GTP-binding molecules that are localized to specific intracellular vesicles and organelles and are important for vesicular trafficking. The Rab proteins cycle between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. Rab4 is associated with early endosomes and recycling vesicles. It is involved in the recycling of receptors to the plasma membrane and regulates membrane recycling from early endosomes. Rab4 has been reported to be membrane-bound during interphase. However, it can be found as a cytosolic protein during mitosis. It is thought that Rab4 is phosphorylated by cdc2/cyclin B during mitosis and that Ser196 on Rab4 is the recognition site of cdc2. Mutation of Ser196 results in Rab4 membrane association during mitosis in an unphosphorylated form. Together this data indicates that Rab4 is phosphorylated by cdc2 on Ser196 which releases it into the cytosol during mitosis. In addition, Rab4 may play a role in insulin-induced glucose transport into rat adipocytes. Rab4 has also been reported to be associated with vesicles that contain GLUT4, a glucose transporter isoform.
This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
