RhO (A, B, C, F, Q), RAC (1, 2, 3), CDC42 (pan) antibody

Antigen: RhO (A, B, C, F, Q), RAC (1, 2, 3), CDC42

Binding Site: pan

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Sheep

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350722

Additional Information

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide as a part of human/rat/mouse/chicken/dog/frog (and more species) Rho-related GTP-binding proteins (RhOA, RhOB, RhOC, RhOF, RhOQ) and RAC1, RAC2, RAC3 and CDC42 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a small GTPase of the Rho-subfamily, which regulates signaling pathways that control diverse cellular functions including cell morphology, migration, endocytosis and cell cycle progression. This protein is highly similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc 42, and is able to complement the yeast cdc42-1 mutant. The product of oncogene Dbl was reported to specifically catalyze the dissociation of GDP from this protein. This protein could regulate actin polymerization through its direct binding to Neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP), which subsequently activates Arp2/3 complex. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Also known as: Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhOA, RhOB, RhOC, RhOF, RhOQ, RAC1, RAC2, RAC3, CDC42.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for RhO family.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Purification: Purified

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
