Cdc42 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Cdc42 proteins are Rho GTPase family members, which act as molecular switches in regulating a variety of biological response pathways including cell motility, cell-cycle progression, gene transcription, and cell transformation. Cdc42 GTPases regulate molecular events by cycling from the inactive GDP-bound state to active GTP-bound forms. The ratio of GDP versus GTP, which is bound to the GTPase, is determined by the opposing effects of guanine nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase activating proteins. Active (GTP-bound) Cdc42 binds to the p21-binding domain of p21-activated protein kinase 1 (PAK1) to regulate downstream signaling cascades.

Synonyms

Q8CFN2

Host

Mouse

Cross Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Target

Cdc42

Clonality

Monoclonal

Isotype

IgM

Clone

M430

Conjugation

Unconjugated

Source

Clone (M430) was generated from a rat recombinant Cdc42 protein. This sequence is highly conserved in human and mouse Cdc42.

Applications

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000)

Buffer

PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Modification

Unmodified

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

The antibody detects a 21 kDa* protein in human Jurkat cells, rat A7r5 cells, and mouse brain. The antibody also detects recombinant full length rat Cdc42 fusion protein, but does not recognize a full length human RhoA GST fusion protein.
