Related Product Information for RhoA/Rac1/CDC42 Activation assay kit
Background/Introduction: Small GTP-binding proteins (or GTPases) are a family of proteins that serve as molecular regulators in signaling transduction pathways. RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42, 21 kDa proteins, belong to the family of Rho GTPases regulates a variety of biological response pathways that include cell motility, cell division, gene transcription, and cell transformation. Like other small GTPases, RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 regulate molecular events by cycling between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTPbound form. In its active (GTP-bound) state, RhoA binds specifically to the Rho-binding domain (RBD) of Rhotekin, and Rac1 or Cdc42 binds specifically to the p21-binding domain (PBD) of p21- activated protein kinase (PAK) to control downstream signaling cascades. The RhoA/Rac1/Cdc42 Activation Assay utilizes Rhotekin RBD and PAK PBD Agarose beads to selectively isolate and pull-down the active form of Rho/Rac/Cdc42 from purified samples or endogenous lysates. Subsequently, the precipitated GTP-Rho or Rac or Cdc42 is detected by western blot analysis using an anti-RhoA or Rac1 or Cdc42 antibody (see Figure 3, Figure 5, Figure 7 and Assay Principle). The RhoA/Rac1/Cdc42 Activation Assay Kit provides a simple and fast tool to monitor the activation of RhoA, Rac1 or Cdc42. The kit includes easily identifiable Rhotekin RBD and PAK1 PBD Agarose beads (see Figure 1), pink in color, along with RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 Immunoblot Positive Controls for quick Rho small GTPase identification. Each kit provides sufficient quantities to perform 10 assays for each small GTPase.
