CST, 60382SF, RhoA (67B9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying RhoA. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin),Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, RhoA (67B9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #60382) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #2117. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 2117 Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity RhoA (67B9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total RhoA protein. This antibody does not recognize the related proteins RhoB or RhoC. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Bovine Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human RhoA. Background Rho family small GTPases, including Rho, Rac and cdc42, act as molecular switches, regulating processes such as cell migration, adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. They are activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which catalyze the exchange of bound GDP for GTP, and inhibited by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), which catalyze the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. A third level of regulation is provided by the stoichiometric binding of Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (RhoGDI) (1). RhoA, RhoB and RhoC are highly homologous, but appear to have divergent biological functions. Carboxy-terminal modifications and differences in subcellular localization allow these three proteins to respond to and act on distinct signaling molecules (2,3). Functions of RhoA, the most highly studied of these three, include regulation of actomyosin contractility (4), cytokinesis (5), focal adhesion assembly (6) and cell polarity (7).
