VPS53 Antibody: HCCS1, hVps53L, pp13624, Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 53 homolog
Product description
VPS53 Antibody: The sorting of acid hydrolases to lysosomes rely on mannose 6-phosphate receptors that cycle between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. The maintenance of this cycle requires the function of the mammalian Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex which is composed of three subunits: VPS52, VPS53, and VPS54. Depletion of any of these three proteins, such as by RNAi, impairs the retrograde transport of multiple TGN proteins. VPS53 was identified as an HIV dependency factor (HDF) and plays a role in viral entry to the cell, suggesting that VPS53 may be an important drug target in HIV treatment. At least five isoforms of VPS53 are known to exist.1) Pfeffer SR. Targeting of proteins to the lysosome. Curr. Top. Microbiol. Immunol.1991; 170:43-65.
Immunogen
VPS53 antibody was raised against a 18 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human VPS53. The immunogen is located within amino acids 390 - 440 of VPS53.
