bsm-70417M

DATASHEET

Host: Mouse

Target Protein: Cdc42

Specificity: The antibody detects a 21 kDa* protein in human Jurkat cells, rat A7r5 cells, and mouse brain. The antibody also detects recombinant full length rat Cdc42 fusion protein, but does not recognize a full length human RhoA GST fusion protein.

Clonality: Monoclonal

Isotype: IgM

Swiss Prot: Q8CFN2

Source: Clone (M430) was generated from a rat recombinant Cdc42 protein. This sequence is highly conserved in human and mouse Cdc42.

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification

Storage Buffer: PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Background:

Cdc42 proteins are Rho GTPase family members, which act as molecular switches in regulating a variety of biological response pathways including cell motility, cell-cycle progression, gene transcription, and cell transformation. Cdc42 GTPases regulate molecular events by cycling from the inactive GDP-bound state to active GTP-bound forms. The ratio of GDP versus GTP, which is bound to the GTPase, is determined by the opposing effects of guanine nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase activating proteins. Active (GTP-bound) Cdc42 binds to the p21-binding domain of p21-activated protein kinase 1 (PAK1) to regulate downstream signaling cascades.
