This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-Arhgef4 Antibody. It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications.
Arhgef4 acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RHOA, RAC1 and CDC42 GTPases. Binding of APC may activate RAC1 GEF activity. The APC-ARHGEF4 complex seems to be involved in cell migration as well as in E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion By similarity. It is required for MMP9 up-regulation via the JNK signaling pathway in colorectal tumor cells. Arhgef4 is involved in tumor angiogenesis and may play a role in intestinal adenoma formation and tumor progression.
