Overview: Ras homolog enriched in striatum (RHES), belongs to the RASD subfamily of the Ras-related GTP-binding protein superfamily. By responding to extracellular signals, these proteins regulate intracellular signaling pathways, thereby controlling essential cellular functions such as cell growth, gene transcription, cytoskeleton organization and pathways involved in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory (1). RHES, located on mouse chromosome 8, is a product of thyroid hormone-regulated gene during brain development and it regulates signal transduction from G protein-coupled receptors (2). It is implicated in cAMP/PKA signaling pathway- Rhes has been shown to inhibit the cAMP/PKA pathway by thyroid-stimulating hormone (3). Furthermore, RHES modulates dopamine signaling in the striatum- It is essential for correct dopamine-mediated GTP binding (4).
Studies investigating the role of RHES have shown that mice that are deficient in this protein were smaller than the wild type mice (1). These mice also showed behavioral abnormalities such as gender-dependent increase in anxiety levels and lack of clear motor coordination. Such studies also showed that absence of RHES modulated cAMP/PKA signaling in projection neurons by increasing golf protein levels (2). RHES is expressed in brain areas that receive dopaminergic input, such as striatum. Therefore, its mRNA expression is controlled by dopamine and its expression is reduced under conditions of dopamine supersensitivity (5). RHES has also been shown to bind Huntingtin and mutant Huntingtin protein (6). Expansion of Huntingtin is usually seen in patients with Huntington’s disease.
The Rhes antibodies were generated using peptide corresponding to mouse Rhes protein. Rhes antibodies are affinity purified over immobilized antigen based affinity chromatography, and the purified immunoglobulins are stabilized in antibody stabilization buffer. RHES antibodies will label bands at 48 and 30 kDa which are absent in knockout mice. RHES positive control (PC-RHES) is available in ready-to-use SDS sample buffer. Synthetic peptide (P-RHES) for immunocompetition/immunodepletion assays are also available.

Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RASD2 rasd2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RASD2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
