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 reorganization, and membrane trafficking.

Immunogen

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Protein G Purified

Format: Purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG1 in buffer containing BSA containing 0.09% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by western blot on RIPA lysates from Jurkat or HL-60 cells.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.5-2 µg/mL of this lot detected Rho in RIPA lysates from HL-60 cells. A previous lot detected Rho in RIPA lysates from Jurkat cells.

Specificity

Recognizes Rho (-A, -B, -C), Mr 22 kDa.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.

Handling Recommendations:
Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol-containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
