Dexras1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Dexras1 protein. The antibody also cross-reacts with a 60 kDa protein of unknown origin.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human Dexras1 protein. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Dexras1 (Ras dexamethasone induced 1) belongs to the Ras superfamily of GTPases and was initially identified as a dexamethasone inducible gene (1,2). Dexras1 reportedly regulates several distinct signal transduction pathways, including MAPK signaling, NMDA receptor-nitric oxide-mediated signaling, and pathways involving adenylyl cyclases (3-5). Dexras1 can directly modulate FE65-APP-mediated transcription and regulate the photic sensitivity of the mammalian circadian clock (6,7).
