VPS39 (Vam6/Vps39-like Protein, KIAA0770, TRAP1-like Protein, TLP, VAM6, hVam6p)

VPS39 is the mammalian homolog of the yeast vacuolar protein VAM6, that in mammals, promotes lysosome clustering and fusion in vivo. VPS39 is also thought to modulate the TGF-b response by coupling the TGF-b receptor complex to the Smad pathway. Similar to the related protein TRAP1, the VPS39 protein is essential for early embryonic development, with mice lacking VPS39 dying at or before E6.5.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 0.5ug/ml\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 5ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Control:\nRat Liver Tissue Lysate\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
