The ARL14 gene is located on chromosome 3 and encodes a protein that is 192 amino acids in length . The protein is expressed in various tissues and is involved in the regulation of vesicle movement along the actin cytoskeleton in dendritic cells . This movement is facilitated by the recruitment of MYO1E to MHC class II-containing vesicles via the effector protein ARL14EP .
ARL14 plays a crucial role in the immune system by controlling the movement of MHC class II-containing vesicles, which are essential for antigen presentation in dendritic cells . This function is vital for the immune response, as it helps in the activation of T-cells by presenting antigens on the cell surface .
Recombinant human ARL14 protein is produced using Escherichia coli expression systems and is purified to a high degree of purity (>90%) . This recombinant protein is used in various research applications, including mass spectrometry (MS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) . The recombinant protein retains the functional properties of the native protein, making it a valuable tool for studying the biological functions of ARL14 .
Recent studies have suggested that ARL14 may serve as a prognostic biomarker in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . The expression levels of ARL14 have been correlated with the progression of NSCLC, indicating its potential role in cancer biology . Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of ARL14 in cancer and other diseases.
