RASSF1 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Description: This gene encodes a protein similar to the RAS effector proteins. Loss or altered expression of this gene has been associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, which suggests the tumor suppressor function of this gene. The inactivation of this gene was found to be correlated with the hypermethylation of its CpG-island promoter region. The encoded protein was found to interact with DNA repair protein XPA. The protein was also shown to inhibit the accumulation of cyclin D1, and thus induce cell cycle arrest. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
Function: Potential tumor suppressor. Required for death receptor-dependent apoptosis. Mediates activation of STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1 during Fas-induced apoptosis by preventing their dephosphorylation. When associated with MOAP1, promotes BAX conformational change and translocation to mitochondrial membranes in response to TNF and TNFSF10 stimulation. Isoform A interacts with CDC20, an activator of the anaphase-promoting complex, APC, resulting in the inhibition of APC activity and mitotic progression. Inhibits proliferation by negatively regulating cell cycle progression at the level of G1/S-phase transition by regulating accumulation of cyclin D1 protein. Isoform C has been shown not to perform these roles, no function has been identified for this isoform. Isoform A disrupts interactions among MDM2, DAXX and USP7, thus contributing to the efficient activation of TP53 by promoting MDM2 self-ubiquitination in cell-cycle checkpoint control in response to DNA damage.
Subunit Structure: Interacts with MAP1S and XPA. Binds to the N-terminal of CDC20 during prometaphase. Binds to STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1. Isoform A interacts with MOAP1 and E4F1. Recruited to the TNFRSF1A and TNFRSF10A complexes in response to their respective cognate ligand, after internalization. Can self-associate. Isoform A interacts with RSSF5 and probably associates with HRAS via a RSSF1 isoform A-RSSF5 heterodimer. Part of a complex with MDM2, DAXX, RASSF1 and USP7. Isoform A interacts (via C-terminus) with DAXX (via N-terminus); the interaction is independent of MDM2 and TP53. Isoform C or isoform H interacts (via N-terminus) with DAXX. Isoform A interacts (via N-terminus) with MDM2 (via C-terminus); the interaction is independent of TP53.

Small volumes of anti-RASSF1 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
