Western blot analysis of RAF1 over-expressed 293 cell line, cotransfected with RAF1 Validated Chimera RNAi ( Cat # H00005894-R01V ) (Lane 2) or non-transfected control (Lane 1). Blot probed with RAF1 monoclonal antibody (M03) clone 1H4 (Cat # H00005894-M03 ). GAPDH ( 36.1 kDa ) used as specificity and loading control.
Proximity Ligation Analysis of protein-protein interactions between BAD and RAF1. HeLa cells were stained with anti-BAD rabbit purified polyclonal 1:1200 and anti-RAF1 mouse monoclonal antibody 1:50. Each red dot represents the detection of protein-protein interaction complex, and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
In situ Proximity Ligation Assay (Cell)
Proximity Ligation Analysis of protein-protein interactions between PDGFRB and RAF1. Huh7 cells were stained with anti-PDGFRB rabbit purified polyclonal 1:600 and anti-RAF1 mouse monoclonal antibody 1:100. Each red dot represents the detection of protein-protein interaction complex, and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
This gene is the cellular homolog of viral raf gene (v-raf). The encoded protein is a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K), which functions downstream of the Ras family of membrane associated GTPases to which it binds directly. Once activated, the cellular RAF1 protein can phosphorylate to activate the dual specificity protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2, which in turn phosphorylate to activate the serine/threonine specific protein kinases, ERK1 and ERK2. Activated ERKs are pleiotropic effectors of cell physiology and play an important role in the control of gene expression involved in the cell division cycle, apoptosis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Mutations in this gene are associated with Noonan syndrome 5 and LEOPARD syndrome 2. [provided by RefSeq
