Rac1 Activation Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Rac1 activation assay was performed using Cell Biolabs Rac1 Activity Assay Kit (#STA-401–1). Briefly, cells or tissue were lysed as described above and the active form of Rac1 (GTP-Rac1) was selectively pulled down from the lysate with p21-binding domain (PBD) of PAK agarose beads. Subsequently, the precipitated GTP-Rac1 was detected by Western blot analysis as described above. Each assay also consisted of lysates that were loaded with GTPγS or GDP as positive and negative controls respectively. A separate Western blot was run to evaluate total levels of Rac1 in each lysate.

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.
