Background Information
RAB7A, also named as RAB7, belongs to the small GTPase superfamily and Rab family. It is involved in late endocytic transport. RAB7A contributes to the maturation of phagosomes (acidification). Defects in RAB7A are the cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B (CMT2B). This antibody is specific to RAB7A.

Reviews
What customers say
Customers rate this RAB7A antibody highly, with most reviews giving 5 stars. It performs well in Western Blot (dilutions 1:1000–1:2000), Immunofluorescence (1:200), and Immunohistochemistry (1:50). Reviewers consistently describe clean, strong bands and reliable detection of endogenous Rab7a across cell lines (HEK293T, THP-1, NSC-34) and tissues (mouse liver, colon cancer). One reviewer noted occasional high-molecular-weight nonspecific signal in certain samples, and another mentioned somewhat weak signal in specific cell types. Overall, users find it a dependable antibody for multiple applications.

Angélique (Verified Customer) (04-27-2026) | western-blot on mouse liver tumors compared to non-tumor
 |
Iram (Verified Customer) (03-23-2026) | It gives very good bands
|
Sai Sindhura (Verified Customer) (01-08-2026) | RAB7A antibody is very good for IF
|
Iram (Verified Customer) (09-18-2025) | very good antibody
|
Christine (Verified Customer) (08-05-2025) | Detects endogenous Rab7a in total cell lysates of HEK293T. Clean, good antibody
|
Sophy (Verified Customer) (03-07-2023) | The antibody worked well in western with 1:1000 dilution. The signal was somewhat weak but that could also be due to the cell types that were used.
|
Malgorzata (Verified Customer) (08-17-2022) | The antibody worked on my positive control: Lysate of THP1 cell line. Nevertheless, for my samples it gave strong nonspecific signal in high MW
 |
Azita (Verified Customer) (06-17-2021) | Immunocytochemistry labelling of (4% PFA) fixed NSC-34 cells by RAB7A Polyclonal antibody at dilution of 1:50 showed strong labelling.
|
Laura (Verified Customer) (01-15-2020) | Works well for Western Blot at 1:1000 dilution.
|
Aamir (Verified Customer) (01-08-2020) | WB at 1 in 500IF at 1 in 250
|
Benjamin (Verified Customer) (12-10-2019) | Has worked well multiple times with dilution of 1:1000 with the RAB7A antibody. I always incubate at 4 degrees overnight in 3% milk TBST solution.
