REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

Flotillin 1 also known as flotillin-1 or flot-1 functions as a major scaffolding protein in lipid rafts which are specialized membrane microdomains. It has a molecular weight of approximately 47 kDa facilitating protein interactions within the cell membrane. Flotillin 1 localizes primarily to non-caveolar lipid rafts and is expressed widely across various tissue types. High expression levels occur in brain tissue contributing to its recognition as an important element within neuronal membranes.
Biological function summary
Flotillin-1 participates in vesicle trafficking and endocytosis by forming a complex with its counterpart flotillin-2. This complex stabilizes membrane microdomains and assists in signaling pathways. Flotillin-1 plays a significant role in cell adhesion migration and cytoskeleton organization by interacting with actin and other cytoskeletal proteins. By doing so it influences cellular processes related to membrane shaping and intracellular transport.
Pathways
Flotillin-1 integrates into the MAPK signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway which are critical for cell differentiation and proliferation. It interacts with several proteins including caveolin-1 that have known roles in these pathways. These interactions help modulate signaling cascades providing necessary cellular responses to various extracellular stimuli.
Flotillin-1 has associations with Alzheimer's disease and various cancers. In Alzheimer's disease it interacts with amyloid precursor protein influencing amyloid-beta production and deposition. In cancer altered expression levels of flotillin-1 affect tumor cell adhesion and migration with its interactions impacting the expression of proteins like E-cadherin which is associated with cancer metastasis and progression. Understanding these interactions offers potential insights for developing therapeutic strategies.
