General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-18257) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human CDC42EP4, targeting the amino acid region 1–356 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human CDC42EP4 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. CDC42EP4, or Cell division cycle 42 effector protein 4, is a member of the CDC42-binding protein family. This protein interacts with Rho family GTPases and plays a role in regulating the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. It has been shown to bind both CDC42 and TC10 GTPases in a GTP-dependent manner. Overexpression of CDC42EP4 in fibroblasts can induce pseudopodia formation, suggesting its involvement in actin filament assembly and cell shape control. CDC42EP4 is also implicated in cancer progression, particularly in prostate cancer. Furthermore, CDC42EP4 has been implicated in the regulation of glutamate transporters, which are crucial for maintaining glutamate homeostasis in the nervous system. It has been suggested that CDC42EP4 may interact with septins, a family of polymerizing GTPases that constitute the membrane skeleton, and this interaction could potentially influence the localization and activity of glutamate transporters.
DPABH-18257 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:500–1:3,000), IHC (1:50–1:500) applications.
DPABH-18257 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
