Background Information

KRAP (Ki-ras-induced actin-interacting protein), also known as SSFA2, CS1 or SPAG13, is a 1,259 amino acid cytoplasmic protein associated with filamentous-actin (F-actin). KRAP is strongly expressed in pancreas and testis. It is also present in colon cancer cell lines, and the expression is up-regulated by activated K-Ras. KRAP-deficient (KO) mice display decreased adiposity and improved glucose metabolism, implicating KRAP as a potential target for the prevention or treatment of obesity and related diseases. KRAP has also been suggested to be a potential target for cancer. This antibody recognizes endogenous KRAP, which migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 180 kDa in SDS-PAGE.
