CDC42 Antibodies

Target Information

Plasma membrane-associated small GTPase which cycles between an active GTP-bound and an inactive GDP-bound state. In active state binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular responses. Involved in epithelial cell polarization processes. Regulates the bipolar attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores before chromosome congression in metaphase. Regulates cell migration. In neurons, plays a role in the extension and maintenance of the formation of filopodia, thin and actin-rich surface projections. Required for DOCK10-mediated spine formation in Purkinje cells and hippocampal neurons. Facilitates filopodia formation upon DOCK11-activation. Upon activation by CaMKII, modulates dendritic spine structural plasticity by relaying CaMKII transient activation to synapse-specific, long-term signaling. Also plays a role in phagocytosis through organization of the F-actin cytoskeleton associated with forming phagocytic cups. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family. CDC42 subfamily. 1 alternatively spliced human isoform has been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
