Other Names | Ankycorbin, Ankyrin repeat and coiled-coil structure-containing protein, Novel retinal pigment epithelial cell protein, Retinoic acid-induced protein 14, RAI14, KIAA1334, NORPEG |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6233a was selected from the C-term region of human RAI14 . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | RAI14 |
---|---|
Synonyms | KIAA1334, NORPEG |
Function | Plays a role in actin regulation at the ectoplasmic specialization, a type of cell junction specific to testis. Important for establishment of sperm polarity and normal spermatid adhesion. May also promote integrity of Sertoli cell tight junctions at the blood- testis barrier. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9EP71}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U312}. Cell junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U312}. Nucleus Note=Associated with the cortical actin cytoskeleton structures in terminal web and cell-cell adhesion sites (By similarity). Highly expressed at the ectoplasmic specialization, an actin-rich cell junction specific to the testis (By similarity). Predominantly nuclear in nonconfluent cells (PubMed:16729964). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16729964} |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in placenta, muscle, kidney and testis. Moderately expressed in heart, brain, lung, liver and intestine. Isoform 2 is widely expressed and expressed in fetal and adult testes, and spermatozoa. |

Background
Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation and induces the expression of a variety of genes. RAI14 is expressed in retinal pigment epithelial cells, induced by all-trans-retinoic acid. Highest expression of RAI14 occurs in the placenta and testis. The predicted human RAI14 protein consists of 980 amino acids, and features 6 potential N-glycosylation sites, six ankyrin repeats and several coiled-coil helical domains. RAI14, which localizes to the cytoplasm, is also highly expressed in several human cancer cell lines. The precise cellular function of RAI14 remains to be determined.
