This ALS2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 1248-1277 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ALS2.
ALS2 contains an ATS1/RCC1-like domain, a RhoGEF domain, and a vacuolar protein sorting 9 (VPS9) domain, all of which are guanine-nucleotide exchange factors that activate members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. The protein functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase RAB5. The protein localizes with RAB5 on early endosomal compartments, and functions as a modulator for endosomal dynamics. Mutations in its gene result in several forms of juvenile lateral sclerosis and infantile-onset ascending spastic paralysis.
