Description

The Rag and LAMTOR Antibody Sampler Kit is an economical means of detecting various Rag and LAMTOR proteins implicated within mTOR complex signaling. The kit contains enough primary and secondary antibody to perform two western blots with each antibody.

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Background

The mTORC kinase complex is a critical regulator of cell growth (1,2). Its activity is modulated by energy levels, growth factors, and amino acids via signaling through Akt, MAPK, and AMPK pathways (3,4). Recent studies found that the four related GTPases, RagA, RagB, RagC, and RagD, interact with raptor within the mTORC1 complex (1,2). These interactions are both necessary and sufficient for mTORC1 activation in response to amino acid signals (1,2). According to the research literature, RagD is one of several genes differentially expressed in human melanoma cell lines and has been considered to be a viable target for further diagnostic and therapeutic study (5). A protein complex consisting of LAMTOR1/C11orf59, LAMTOR2/ROBLD3, and LAMTOR3/MAPKSP1 has been identified to interact with and recruit four Rag GTPases to the surface of lysosomes (6).
