- Extra Details:
- Progression of tumors to invasive and metastatic forms requires that tumor cells undergo dramatic morphological changes, a process regulated by Rho GTPases. Increased levels of RhoA or RhoC, as well as the Rho effector proteins ROCK-1 or ROCK-2, were observed in various human carcinomas. In vivo studies have also shown that ROCK inhibition reduced the invasiveness of several tumor cell lines. It is suggested that Rho and ROCK signaling contribute to the morphological changes and metastatic behavior of some tumor cells. Thus, elevated Rho and ROCK expression is associated with tumorigenesis, particularly during the progression to invasive and metastatic phenotypes. Phosphorylation of certain residues in ROCK-2 may be critical for its kinase activity. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:2000-1:20,000 Western Blot: 1:200-1:2000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
