Small GTP-binding proteins (or GTPases) are a family of proteins that serve as molecular regulators in signaling transduction pathways. Rap, a 24 kDa protein of the Ras superfamily, regulates a variety of biological response pathways that include cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The Ras-like proteins Rap1 and Rap2 share 60% identity. Like other small GTPases, Rap regulates molecular events by cycling between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form. In their active (GTP-bound) state, Rap1 and Rap2 bind specifically to the Rap-binding domain (RBD) of RalGDS to control downstream signaling cascades.

Product Notes
The RalGDS RBD (Catalog #AAA168942) is an Accessory Reagent and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RalGDS RBD, Accessory Reagent" 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
