Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

FYVE-CENT Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total FYVE-CENT protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu595 of human FYVE-CENT protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Background

FYVE-CENT (ZFYVE26) contains an FYVE zinc finger domain characterized by conserved R(R/RK) and HHCRxCG motifs (1). Phosphatidylinositol 3 phosphate binds to FYVE-CENT via the FYVE domain and this binding is crucial in phosphoinositide (PtdIns3P)-regulated cytokinesis (1-3). Research evidence suggests that during cytokinesis, FYVE-CENT directly interacts with TTC19 and is recruited to the midbody by the kinesin protein KIF13A (4). FYVE-CENT may also be involved in the tumor suppressor function of Beclin-1 (5). Researchers have linked the defects in FYVE-CENT to hereditary spastic paraplegia, a condition characterized by deterioration of the corpus callosum of the brain (6).
