Product Name :
Rho D Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Upon activation, the small GTPase Rho D (also designated RhoHP1 and ARHD) contributes to rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton and cell surface and also governs endosome motility and distribution. The effects of Rho D antagonize those of its family member, Rho A, by dissasembling actin stress fibers normally enhanced by Rho A. Additionally, Rho D disengages focal adhesions, resulting in retardation of cell migration. Accordingly, transfection of a constitutively active form of Rho D (designated Rho D G26V) reverses the invasive phenotype of Gαolf induced cells, implying the possiblity of a therapeutic use for activated Rho D in counteracting tumor metastasis. Alternative Name :
Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoD; Rho-related protein HP1; RhoHP1; RHOD; ARHD Swiss-Prot :
O00212 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide Rho D. (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS5898 Rho D pAb.
