Rab 20 Antibody (169E2W): sc-517618

Rab 20 Antibody (169E2W) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Rab 20 protein of human origin by western blotting (WB). Anti-Rab 20 antibody (169E2W) is available as a non-conjugated format, providing researchers with a reliable tool for studying this important protein. Rab 20, also known as Ras-related protein Rab-20, is a 234 amino acid protein primarily localized to the Golgi apparatus, a critical site for protein processing and trafficking within the cell. The Golgi apparatus plays a vital role in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles, making Rab 20 essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Rab 20 belongs to the Rab subfamily of small GTPases, which are key regulators of vesicular transport, including both endocytosis and the biosynthetic pathway. Notably, Rab 20 is expressed in both normal and cancerous pancreatic tissue, where Rab 20 is implicated in apical endocytosis and recycling processes, potentially influencing the development of exocrine pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Anti-Rab 20 antibody (169E2W) enables researchers to gain insights into Rab 20′s role in cellular transport mechanisms and implications in pancreatic cancer biology.
