PLEKHM1 (E9S3Q) Rabbit mAb #77092

Pleckstrin homology domain-containing protein family member 1 (PLEKHM1) is a multivalent endolysosomal adaptor protein that contains an N-terminal RUN domain, two internal PH domains, and a C-terminal C1 domain/zinc-finger-like motif. Research studies have shown that PLEKHM1 plays a role in bone resorption by regulating the acidification of endosomal vesicles of osteoclasts. Loss-of-function mutations in PLEKHM1 promote osteoclast failure and impair bone resorption, which leads to osteopetrosis (1-3). Recent studies have shown that PLEKHM1 serves as a nexus for different trafficking pathways of the endolysosomal network by serving as the platform for the recruitment of Rab7, HOPS complex, and LC3/GABARAP family members. Indeed, loss of PLEKHM1 impairs the lysosomal degradation of cell-surface receptors and autophagic clearance of protein aggregates (4,5).
