Product Uses Include
The combo kit is an ideal choice when your experimental observations suggest that one or more Rho family proteins are activated.
Provides 10 assays each for detection of activated RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42.
Includes an extensive array of reagents (see kit contents below).
Most cost effective way to obtain a Rho family activation profile.
Assay Principle
The principle of the assay is shown schematically below (Figure 1). The assay is based upon the fact that a Rho family effector protein is known to bind preferentially to the active (GTP-bound) form of its target GTPase (1). In the case of RhoA activation, the rhotekin-RBD effector domain is used to make the affinity beads (2). In the case of Cdc42 and Rac1 activation, the PAK-PBD effector domain is used for affinity beads (3).
