Scientific Background: RhoC is member of the Rho family of small GTPases which promote reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton during cell morphogenesis and motility and regulate cell shape, attachment and motility. Active RhoC signals to its downstream effector ROCK which phosphorylates and activates LIM kinase that in turn phosphorylates cofilin inhibiting its actin-depolymerizing activity (1). Overexpression of RhoC is associated with tumor cell proliferation and metastasis while dominant-negative RhoC inhibits metastasis (2). Analysis of the phenotype of cells expressing dominant-negative RhoC indicates that RhoC is important in tumor cell invasion.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, which cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states and function as molecular switches in signal transduction cascades. Rho proteins promote reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and regulate cell shape, attachment, and motility. The protein encoded by this gene is prenylated at its C-terminus, and localizes to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane. It is thought to be important in cell locomotion. Overexpression of this gene is associated with tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

Uniprot Description
RHOC: a small G protein of the Rho family. Regulates a signal transduction pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. Controls the reorganization of actins into podosomes. Serves as a target for the yopT cysteine peptidase from Yersinia pestis, vector of the plague, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which causes gastrointestinal disorders.

Product Notes
The RhoC rhoc (Catalog #AAA515652) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 1-190. AAA Biotech's RhoC can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Enzyme Assay, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RhoC rhoc 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 "RhoC, 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
