Active Recombinant Human RHOA protein, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: RHOA-34H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human RHOA fused with GST tag in the amino-terminus was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: GST
• Description: This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, which cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states and function as molecular switches in signal transduction cascades. Rho proteins promote reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and regulate cell shape, attachment, and motility. Overexpression of this gene is associated with tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified.
• Form: The protein is supplied as a lyophilized powder. When it is reconstituted in distilled water to 1 mg/ml, the protein is in the following buffer: 2 mM Tris pH 7.6, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 0.5% sucrose, 0.1% dextran.
• Bio-activity: The biological activity of RhoA proteins was monitored by measuring the ability of the protein to hydrolyze GTP in the presence and absence of a GTPase-activating protein.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant protein is 52 kDa, consisting of the 24 kDa RhoA protein plus a 28 kDa GST tag in the amino-terminus.
• Purity: 90%
• Applications: RhoA biochemistry;
  RhoA GTPase assays;
  RhoA nucleotide exchange assays;
  RhoA binding studies.
