RAP2A Monoclonal antibody

Ras-related protein Rap-2a (RAP2A) is also named as RbBP-30, and belongs to the small GTPase superfamily and Ras family. RAP2A is small GTP-binding protein which cycles between a GDP-bound inactive and a GTP-bound active form. In its active form, RAP2A can interact with and regulates several effectors including MAP4K4, MINK1 and TNIK. a Nedd4-1/Rap2A/TNIK signaling pathway regulates neurite growth and arborization in mammalian neurons (PMID:20159449). Early research indicated that RAP2A is mainly located in the Golgi apparatus of mammalian cells. RAP2A functions in several cascade signals to regulate biological behaviors such as cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell growth and apoptosis, and cell adhesion and migration (PMID:34018090, PMID:16246175, PMID: 16540189).
