ARF1, also known as ADP-ribosylation factor 1, is a small guanine nucleotide-binding protein that enhances the enzymatic activities of cholera toxin. It is essential and ubiquitous in eukaryotes, as this protein is involved in vesicular transport and functioning via phospholipase D activation. ARF1 plays a role in membrane traffic and organelle integrity and are intimately tied to their reversible association with membranes and distinct interactions with membrane phospholipids. Recombinant human ARF1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Synonyms: ADP-ribosylation factor 1, ADP ribosylation factor 1. NCBI no.: NP_001649
