Small volumes of anti-DOCK8 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This gene encodes a member of the DOCK180 family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors interact with Rho GTPases and are components of intracellular signaling networks. Mutations in this gene result in the autosomal recessive form of the hyper-IgE syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

DOCK8: Potential guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). GEF proteins activate some small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Defects in DOCK8 are the cause of hyperimmunoglobulin E recurrent infection syndrome autosomal recessive (AR-HIES). It is a rare disorder of immunity characterized by immunodeficiency, recurrent infections, eczema, increased serum IgE, eosinophilia and lack of connective tissue and skeletal involvement. Defects in DOCK8 are the cause of mental retardation autosomal dominant type 2 (MRD2). Mental retardation is characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. A chromosomal aberration disrupting DOCK8 has been found in a patient with mental retardation and ectodermal dysplasia. DOCK8 is disrupted in patients with mental retardation. A balanced translocation, t(X;9) (q13.1;p24). Belongs to the DOCK family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
