Rabbit anti-Human RhoC Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P08134

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RHOC

Target Full Name

Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoC

Target Function

Regulates a signal transduction pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. Serves as a microtubule-dependent signal that is required for the myosin contractile ring formation during cell cycle cytokinesis. Regulates apical junction formation in bronchial epithelial cells.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cleavage furrow. Note=Translocates to the equatorial region before furrow formation in a ECT2-dependent manner.

Target Protein Families

Small GTPase superfamily, Rho family

Target Synonyms

Aplysia RAS-related homolog 9; ARH 9; ARH9; ARHC; H9; MGC1448; MGC61427; Oncogene RHO H9; Ras homolog gene family member C; RAS related homolog 9; RHO C; Rho cDNA clone 9; Rho related GTP binding protein RhoC; Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoC; rhoC; RhoC GTPase; RHOC_HUMAN; RHOH 9; RHOH9; Small GTP binding protein RhoC

Target Background

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. The protein encoded by this gene is prenylated at its C-terminus, and localizes to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane. It is thought to be important in cell locomotion. Overexpression of this gene is associated with tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
