Storage
Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4ºC. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20ºC or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Concentration
Batch dependent (Please refer to the vial label for the specific concentration.)
Antigen Species
Human
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against a chemically synthesized phosphopeptide derived from a region of human Rac1-protein that contains serine 71. The sequence is conserved in human and mouse Rac 1, 2, and 3, and cdc42 human, mouse, rat, dog and frog.
Purification
Purified by antigen-affinity chromatography
Conjugation
Unconjugated

Background
RAC, Cdc 42 and Rho A, B, and C are members of a small RhoGTPase family that bind and hydrolyze GTP. GTP bound RAC 1 and cdc 42 play a pivotal role in controlling cell shape, adhesion, growth and transformation. Active Rac 1 is implicated in regulating serum response element (SRE), NFAT 1 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) transcription activities. Activated RAC 1 and Cdc 42 bind and activate PAK 1, which in turn activates key downstream signaling proteins including MEKK 1 and JNK. RAC 1 and Cdc 42 are phosphorylated on serine 71, a putative Akt site located between the protein binding domain and GTP binding domain. Phosphorylation of RAC 1 on serine 71 regulates its GTP binding and GTPase activity.
