Description
- Swiss-Prot No.:
- Swiss-Prot:O95398
Gene ID:10411
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at -20˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human EPAC1.
- other_names:
- Rap guanine nuclear exchange factor 3, RAPGEF3, cAMPGEF-I, bcm910
- Purification:
- Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
- Specificity:
- At least two isoforms of EPAC1 are known to exist; this antibody will detect both isoforms. EPAC1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with EPAC2.
- Background:
- EPAC1, also known as Rap guanine nuclear exchange factor 3 and cAMPGEF-I, is widely expressed but most prominently in brain, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen, ovary, thyroid and spinal cord. EPAC1 is a cAMP-binding protein with intrinsic guanine nuclear exchange factor activity that couples cAMP production to the activation of Rap, a GTPase belonging to the Ras family. This activation of Rap influences numerous cellular processes such as integrin-mediated cell adhesion, vascular endothelial barrier formation, and cardiac myocyte gap junction formation. Recently, EPAC1 has been suggested to also be involved in the cAMP-dependent regulation of ion channel formation, intracellular Ca++ signalling, ion transporter activity, and exocytosis.
