    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    ARL8B Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total ARL8B protein. This antibody does not cross-react with ARL8A.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala137 of human ARL8B protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The small GTPases of the Arf and Rab families have critical roles in cytoskeletal organization and membrane/vesicular transport (1,2). The related ADP-ribosylation factor-like (ARL) family member ARL8, including two paralogs ARL8A and ARL8B, has emerged as an important regulator of lysosomal transport to the cell periphery (3,4). Lysosome positioning is a critical determinant of a number of physiological processes including plasma membrane repair, cell migration, antigen presentation, and response to nutrient availability. Membrane association of ARL8B is regulated by the BLOC-one related complex (BORC), a multi-subunit complex under the control of the mTOR pathway (5,6). Effectors of GTP-bound ARL8B include PLEKHM2/SKIP and the Vps41 subunit of the HOPS complex (7). Studies have found that ARL8B may be a critical factor for NK-mediated cytotoxicity by driving polarization of lytic granules toward the immune synapse (8). In addition, ARL8B has been shown to act as a negative regulator of autophagy (9). Knockdown of ARL8B resulted in increased fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. Furthermore, ARL8B depleted cells had reduced levels of pathogenic substrates associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
