Active Rac1
Catalog Number: 26903
Gene Symbol: RAC1
Description: Anti-Active Rac Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Background: Small GTPases are a super-family of cellular signaling regulators. Rac belongs to the Rho sub-family of GTPases that regulate cell motility, cell division, and gene transcription. GTP binding increases the activity of Rac, and the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP renders it inactive. GTP hydrolysis is aided by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), while exchange of GDP for GTP is facilitated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs).

Rac activation assay. MEF cells were treated with (lane 2) or without (lane 1) PDGF. Cell lysates were incubated with an anti-active Rac monoclonal antibody (Cat # 26903) (top panel). The precipitated active Rac was immunoblotted with an anti-Rac rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat # 21003). The bottom panel shows the Western blot with anti-Rac of the cell lysates used (5% of that used in the top panel).
