Cdc42

Manufactured by Horizon Discovery

Cdc42 is a Rho family GTPase that plays a key role in regulating various cellular processes, such as cell morphology, migration, and signaling. It functions as a molecular switch, cycling between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state. Cdc42 is involved in a wide range of cellular activities, including cytoskeletal organization, vesicle trafficking, and gene expression.

At 3 days after differentiation, PLB-985 cells were spun down and resuspended in extracellular buffer (5 mM KCl, 125 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM CaCl2, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM Glucose, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4). 0.9 uM Control (Dharmacon, D-001206-14-05), Cdc42 (Dharmacon, M-005057-01-0005), and RhoA (Dharmacon, E-003860-00-0005) siRNA pools were mixed with the cell suspension and were introduced into cell by parallel electroporation using a custom-built 96-well electroporation device69 (link). Cells were then incubated 3 days more with differentiation media in 96 well plate. For western blot, whole-cell extracts were prepared and resolved by 4%-10% gradient SDS-PAGE. The proteins were then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Primary antibodies, anti-Cdc42 (Cell Signaling Technology, 2462, 1:1,000), anti-RhoA (Cell Signaling Technology, 2117, 1:1,000), and anti-GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, 5174, 1:1,000), were incubated overnight at 4°C. Bound antibodies were visualized with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare) and the ECL system (Millipore).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
