RAB27A (Ras-related protein Rab 27A; also GTP-binding protein Ram) is a 27-28 kDa member of the Rab27 subfamily, Rab family, Small GTPase superfamily of proteins. It is widely expressed, and found in cells diverse as mast cells, cytotoxic T cells, melanocytes, retinal pigment epithelium and pancreatic beta -cells. RAB27A plays a key role in the secretion of specialized lysosomes termed secretory lysosomes. In melanocytes, for example, RAB27A is incorporated into the melanosome membrane where it serves as a docking factor for melanophilin and myosin-Va, regulating melanosome transport to, and concentration at, sites of release. Human RAB27A is 221 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains multiple Rab family and subfamily motifs, and concludes with a C-terminal CXC prenylation sequence (aa 219‑221). There is one potential splice variant that shows a deletion of aa 146-153. Over aa 135-218, human RAB27A shares 92% and 94% aa sequence identity with mouse Rab27A and rat RAB27A, respectively.

Detection of Human Rab27a by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of human prostate tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human Rab27a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7245) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF008). A specific band was detected for Rab27a at approximately 26 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.Detection of Human Rab27a by Simple WesternTM.
Simple Western shows lysates of Exosome Standards (K562) (NBP2-49864) and SK‑Mel‑28 human malignant melanoma cell line, loaded at 0.5 mg/ml. A specific band was detected for Rab27a at approximately 32 kDa (as indicated) using 20 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human Rab27a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7245). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.Rab27a in SK‑Mel‑28 Human Cell Line.
Rab27a was detected in immersion fixed SK-Mel-28 human malignant melanoma cell line (left panel; positive staining) and Daudi human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line (right panel; negative staining) using Rabbit Anti-Human Rab27a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7245) at 3 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL004) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Western blot shows lysates of U‑87 MG human glioblastoma/astrocytoma parental cell line and Rab27a knockdown U-87 MG cell line (KD). Nitrocellulose membrane was probed with 2.5 µg/mL Rabbit Anti-Human Rab27a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7245) followed by HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. A specific band was detected for Rab27a at approximately 26 kDa (as indicated) in the parental U-87 MG cell line, but is significantly reduced in knockdown U-87 MG cell line. The Ponceau stained transfer of the blot is shown. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions. Image, protocol, and testing courtesy of YCharOS Inc.

Assessment of the effect of GTP gamma S and GDP beta S loading of cell lysate before pulldown. To investigate the impact of the GTP/GDP cycle of small GTPases on their affinity to ARHGAP25, we performed GST-pulldowns on samples pretreated with GTP gamma S and GDP beta S. (a) Comparison of LFQ values of small GTPases pulled down with ARHGAP25 following GTP gamma S and GDP beta S loading of the neutrophilic cell lysate. Employed statistics: paired t-tests (n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± SD. p values are presented numerically; bold values are considered significant (p < 0.05). LFQ values RAC2 and RHOG were significantly elevated in GTP gamma S samples, implying a GTP/GDP dependent effect on their affinity towards ARHGAP25. ARF4 and RAB27A did not show any significant difference. (b) Representative Western Blot of RHOG, RAC2 and RAB27A protein levels in GST-ARHGAP25 pulldown samples following GTP gamma S- and GDP beta S-loading of the neutrophilic cell lysate. The difference in the band intensities supported our proteomic results.

Identification of ARHGAP25’s interactome in neutrophilic granulocytes. Out of the identified proteins, a list of potential candidates of interaction partners was selected and further supported by co-immunoprecipitation assays from neutrophil cell lysates. (a) Volcano plot of the GST-pulldown-derived proteomic data. Employed statistics: multiple t-tests with Benjamini–Hochberg correction (n = 6); significance thresholds are marked by dotted lines. ARHGAP25’s potential partners are colored green. Gray dots represent proteins below the threshold. Ninety proteins showed a significant preference towards GST-ARHGAP25. (b) Western Blot validation of the proteomic analysis. Six proteins were selected to check their presence in the samples. Representative images reinsured the presence of ACSL1, SYK, RAB27A, RHOG, and RAC2, and the absence of LDHA. (c) Functional enrichment of ‘GO: Biological Function’ and ‘Reactome’ gene sets of identified protein partners. Gene sets with redundant or overlapping themes are grouped and colored differently for clarity. (d) STRING (‘Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins’) analysis between identified partners of ARHGAP25. Based on molecular function and localization, proteins are separated into different groups. Lines represent documented interactions between proteins extracted from the STRING database.
