Rabbit Anti-GAPex5/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
GAPVD1 is a 1478 amino acid peripheral membrane protein that acts both as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) and a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). GAPVD1 participates in many processes such as insulin receptor internalization, Glut4 trafficking and endocytosis. In addition, depletion of GAPVD1 leads to delayed EGFR degradation by mediating receptor ubiquination through its RGD domain, suggesting that it may be an important mediator of carcinogenesis resulting from Ras protein mutations. There are six isoforms of GAPVD1 that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
Function:
GAPex 5 plays a role in several processes such as endocytosis, insulin receptor internalisation and LC2A4/GLUT4 trafficking. It acts as both a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) and a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). GAPex 5 is a GEF for the small G protein Rab31, promoting the exchange of GDP bound to Rab31 for GTP and thus regulating LC2A4/GLUT4 trafficking. In the absence of insulin, GAPex 5 maintains Rab31 in an active (GTP-bound) state, thereby promoting a futile cycle between LC2A4/GLUT4 storage vesicles and early endosomes, keeping LC2A4/GLUT4 inside the cells. Following insulin stimulation, GAPex 5 is translocated to the plasma membrane, enabling the release of LC2A4/GLUT4 from the intracellular storage vesicles. GAPex 5 is also involved in EGFR trafficking and degradation, and also has GEF activity for Rab5 and GAP activity for Ras.
