Anti cofilin

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Anti-cofilin is a protein that binds to and regulates the activity of cofilin, an important actin-binding protein involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Anti-cofilin can be used to detect and quantify the levels of cofilin in biological samples.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For RhoA activity assay, an immobilized GST-fusion protein, Rhotekin (Millipore, Germany), was used as a probe. The pulled down active RhoA, which binds to the Rho-binding domain of Rhotekin, was detected using anti-RhoA antibody (1:1000). The Rac1 and Cdc42 activities were examined using EZ-Detect™ Rac1 activation Kit (Pierce, USA). Cells were lysed in 25 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1% NP-40, 1 mM DTT, and 5% glycerol at 4°C. Active Rac1 was pulled down with GST-fusion protein containing p21-binding domain of p21-activated protein kinase 1 in the presence of immobilized Glutathione Disc. GTP-bound form was detected by western blots with anti-Rac1 or Cdc42 antibodies (1:1000). For p-cofilin assay, equal amounts of lysates from cortical neurons and HEK293 cells were prepared and immunoblotted with anti-cofilin (1:1000, Cell Signaling) and anti-phospho-cofilin (1:1000, Cell Signaling) antibodies.

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.
