Sequence Info : Partial

Tag Info : N-terminal GST-tagged

Theoretical MW : 71.5 kDa

Storage Buffer : Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Endotoxin Level : Not tested-

Biological Activity : Not tested

Storage : Short term: -20°C; Long term: -80°C. Minimize freeze and thaw cycles.

Research Area : Signal Transduction

Restriction : For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures, drug use, or for administration to humans or animals.

Relevance : Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA GTPases. May play a role in actin cytoskeleton reorganization in different tissues since its activation induces formation of actin stress fibers. Also act as a GEF for RAC1, inducing production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Does not act as a GEF for CDC42. The G protein beta-gamma (Gbetagamma) subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins act as activators, explaining the integrated effects of LPA and other G-protein coupled receptor agonists on actin stress fiber formation, cell shape change and ROS production.
