Application

Research CategorySignaling

This Anti-Rho (-A Antibody, -B, -C), clone 3L74 is validated for use in WB for the detection of Rho (-A, -B, -C).

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:1000-1:4000 dilution of this lot detected Rho (-A, -B, -C) in RIPA lysates from human HL-60 and rat PC-12 cells. This antibody also recognized recombinant RhoA protein, but not recombinant rac1 or cdc42 proteins.

Research Sub CategoryCytoskeletal Signaling

General description

Rho proteins belong to the Ras super family of low molecular weight GTPases, which includes RAS, RHO, RAB, RAN, RAD and ARF. These small GTP binding proteins function as molecular switches that regulate a multitude of biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, cytoskeletal reorganisation, and membrane trafficking.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide (SYPDTDVILMCFSIDSPDSLENKK) corresponding to amino acids 73-94 of human Rho (-A, -B, -C), with two terminal lysines added to increase peptide solubility
