    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    EEA1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total EEA1 protein. Nucleolar background has been observed in some cell lines by immunofluorescence.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly14 of human EEA1 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    EEA1 is an early endosomal marker and a Rab5 effector protein essential for early endosomal membrane fusion and trafficking (1-2). The carboxy terminus of EEA1 contains a FYVE domain which binds to phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P), targeting EEA1 to early endosomes (3). The stable association of EEA1 with the endosomal membrane is regulated by PI3 kinase, Rab5 and calcium/calmodulin (4-6). Once on the membrane, EEA1 interacts with Rab5, NSF and syntaxin 13 to promote early endosomal membrane docking and fusion (7).

    Alternate Names

    Early endosome antigen 1; endosomal GTPase effector; endosomal GTPase RAB5 effector; Endosome-associated protein p162; RAB5 effector; ZFYVE2; Zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 2
