Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Vav1 (D45G3) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Vav1 protein.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in the carboxy terminus of human Vav1 protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from Jurkat, Raji and K-562 cells using Vav1 (D45G3) Rabbit mAb.

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation of Vav1 from Jurkat cells using Vav1 (D45G3) Rabbit mAb. Western blot was performed using the same antibody.

Background

Vav proteins belong to the Dbl family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for Rho/Rac small GTPases. The three identified mammalian Vav proteins (Vav1, Vav2 and Vav3) differ in their expression. Vav1 is expressed only in hematopoietic cells and is involved in the formation of the immune synapse. Vav2 and Vav3 are more ubiquitously expressed. Vav proteins contain the Dbl homology domain, which confers GEF activity, as well as protein interaction domains that allow them to function in pathways regulating actin cytoskeleton organization (reviewed in 1). Phosphorylation stimulates the GEF activity of Vav protein towards Rho/Rac (2,3).
