Anti-ARHGEF4 (Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 4, APC-stimulated Guanine Nucleotide Exchange F

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through Gucleotide exchange protein coupled receptors. Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA and RAC1 GTPases. Binding of APC may activate RAC1 GEF activity. The APC-ARHGEF4 complex seems to be involved in cell migration as well as in E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. This protein is similar to rat collybistin protein. Alternative splicing of the gene generates two transcript variants which encode different isoforms. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:32,000, Western Blot: 2-4ug/ml, observed in human brain lysates and in transfected HEK293 on ~80kD bands, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
