Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy-terminal sequence of human DOCK180. Background DOCK180 and its partner, ELMO1, interact directly with one another to form an atypical two-part guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the small GTPase Rac (1). Rac activation occurs in association with p130 Cas and Crk, which form a complex with DOCK180 that is targeted to focal adhesions (1,2). DOCK180 is also recruited to the plasma membrane by binding to phosphoinositides (3). ELMO1 may function as an inhibitor of proteasome-dependent degradation of DOCK180 at the plasma membrane to regulate reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton (4). Localized Rac activation allows actin nucleation via WAVE family proteins, signaling to integrins, formation of lamellipodia and filopodia, and regulation of processes such as phagocytosis and cell migration (5-7).
