Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nRap1 and Rap2 belong to the Ras subfamily of small GTPases and are activated by a wide variety of stimuli through integrins, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), death domain associated receptors (DD-R) and ion channels (1,2). Like other small GTPases, Rap activity is stimulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) and inactivated by GTPase activating proteins (GAP). A wide variety of Rap GEFs have been identified: C3G connects Rap1 with RTKs through adaptor proteins such as Crk, Epacs (or cAMP-GEFs) transmit signals from cAMP, and CD-GEFs (or CalDAG-GEFs) convey signals from either or both Ca2+ and DAG (1). Rap1 primarily regulates multiple integrin-dependent processes such as morphogenesis, cell-cell adhesion, hematopoiesis, leukocyte migration and tumor invasion (1,2). Rap1 may also regulate proliferation, differentiation and survival through downstream effectors including B-Raf, PI3K, RalGEF and phospholipases (PLCs) (1-4). Rap1 and Rap2 are not fuctionally redundant as they perform overlapping but distinct functions (5). Recent research indicates that Rap2 regulates Dsh subcellular localization and is required for Wnt signaling in early development (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nC21KG; DKFZp586H0723; G-22K; GTP-binding protein smg p21A; GTP-binding protein smg p21B; K-REV; KREV-1; KREV1; RAL1B; RAP1; RAP1A; RAP1A, member of RAS oncogene family; RAP1B; RAP1B, member of RAS oncogene family; Ras family small GTP binding protein RAP1B; Ras-related protein Krev-1; Ras-related protein Rap-1A; Ras-related protein Rap-1b; RAS-related protein RAP1A; RAS-related protein RAP1B; small GTP binding protein; SMGP21\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk B\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 21\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799698690217,"sku":"4938S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-4938s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
