RhoA is a member of the Rho gene family that interacts with protein kinases and serves as a target of activated GTPase. RhoA play an important role in the initial events of cell protrusion, whereas Rac1 and Cdc42 activate pathways implicated in reinforcement and stabilization of newly expanded protrusions. Rho mediates corneal epithelial migration in response to external stimuli by regulating the organization of the actin cytoskeleton (1). The inhibition of RhoA signaling is required for both vaccinia morphogenesis and virus-induced cell motility. Vaccinia inhibits RhoA signalling using the viral protein F11 and this can enhance the spread of infection (2). It has been reported that cGMP/cGMP-dependent protein kinase can phosphorylate RhoA at Ser188 in vitro (3).

Product Notes
The RhoA (Catalog #AAA517561) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's RhoA Mutant (S188A) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Kinase Assay, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RhoA 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 "RhoA Mutant (S188A), Recombinant Protein" 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
