General description
The Rac1/Cdc42 Activation Assay (Cat. No. 17-441) provides an effective method for detecting Rac and Cdc42 activity in cell lysates. This assay uses the downstream effector of Rac/Cdc42, p21-activated protein kinase (PAK1), to isolated the active GTP-bound form of Rac/Cdc42 from the sample. The p21 binding domain (PBD) of PAK1 is expressed as a GST-fusion protein and coupled to agarose beads. After precipitation, an immunoblot is performed and the activated Rac/Cdc42 is detected with specific monoclonal antibodies, followed by HRP-conjugated secondary antibody and ECL reagent.

Quality
Routinely evaluated by precipitating Rac1-GTP and cdc42-GTP from 3T3/A31 and HeLa cell lysates that had been loaded with GTPγS(lysates were loaded in vitro with GTPγS for cdc42-GTP). The precipitated Rac1-GTP and cdc42-GTP was detected by immunoblot analysis using anti-Rac1 (1 μg/ml).

The molecular mechanisms underlying metastatic dissemination are still not completely understood. We have recently shown that β(1) integrin-dependent cell adhesion to fibronectin and signaling is affected by a transmembrane molecule, Trop-2, which is frequently upregulated in human carcinomas.
