Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In phosphate-buffered Saline(pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol. Members of the Rho (or ARH) protein family and other Ras-related small GTP-binding proteins are involved in diverse cellular events, including cell signaling, proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, and secretion. The GTP-binding proteins are active only in the GTP-bound state. At least 3 classes of proteins tightly regulate cycling between the GTP-bound and GDP-bound states: GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), guanine nucleotide-releasing factors (GRFs), and GDP-dissociation inhibitors (GDIs). The GDIs, including ARHGDIB, decrease the rate of GDP dissociation from Ras-like GTPases. Recombinant human ARHGDIB protein, fused to GST-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
