Western blot - Human VAPA knockout HeLa cell line (AB275831)

Western blot : Anti-VAPA antibody [EPR13589(B)] - N-terminal ab181067 staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti alpha Tubulin ab7291 loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. A band was observed at 28 kDa in Wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in VAPA knockout HeLa cell line. To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5% Milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse 680RD at 1/20,000 dilution.

補足情報

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A (VAPA) also known as VAP-A is an integral membrane protein involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. It has a molecular weight of approximately 33 kDa and is expressed in multiple tissues including the brain liver and muscles. Mechanically VAPA functions in the process of vesicle docking and fusion at membranes which is essential for the trafficking of proteins and lipids within cells. This protein is also a part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and contributes to the formation of membrane contact sites between the ER and other organelles.
Biological function summary

In the cellular environment VAPA plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating lipid transport and metabolism. It forms a complex with several other proteins such as OSBP (oxysterol-binding protein) and CERT (ceramide transport protein) which facilitates the exchange of lipids between the ER and the Golgi apparatus. This interaction underlines VAPA's role in lipid droplet dynamics and the synthesis of phosphatidylinositols which are critical for cell signaling and membrane integrity.

Pathways

The involvement of VAPA is significant in lipid metabolism and membrane trafficking pathways. It interacts with proteins like VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane proteins) and SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complexes which are important for exocytosis and endocytosis processes. VAPA's interaction in these pathways supports the movement of materials across cellular membranes and its regulation of lipid exchange impacts the signaling pathways influencing cell growth and differentiation.

Abnormal VAPA function relates to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and some forms of motor neuron disease. In such conditions VAPA's interaction with proteins like TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) becomes disrupted leading to protein aggregation and neuronal toxicity. Additionally disruptions in VAPA-associated lipid transport are linked to metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes highlighting its critical role in proper cellular communication and metabolic balance.

初回取り扱いガイドライン

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability. <p>1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.<br>2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.<br>3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.<br>4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO<sub>2</sub>. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.<br>5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x10<sup>4</sup> cells/cm<sup>2</sup>. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.</p>

継代培養ガイドライン
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
