Product Details

Our Rho Activation Assays use visible agarose beads to selectively precipitate the active form of RhoA, RhoB or RhoC. The precipitated small GTPase is then detected by Western blot using a RhoA-, RhoB- or RhoC-specific antibody included in the kit.

If you are also studying Rac1 and/or Cdc42, you may consider our economical combination kit.
