Western Blot shows lysates of Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/ml of Rabbit Anti-Human CDC42 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11765) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF008). A specific band was detected for CDC42 at approximately 21 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.

Background: CDC42

Cell division control protein 42 (CDC42) is a small Rho GTPase with a molecular weight of approximately 21 kDa. CDC42 is a highly conserved protein that plays an integral role in regulating multiple cellular processes, including cytoskeletal organization, cell polarity, vesicle trafficking, and signal transduction. A key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, CDC42 is critical for the formation of filopodia, which are dynamic, actin-rich cell protrusions involved in sensing the extracellular environment. CDC42 is ubiquitously expressed across eukaryotic cells and contributes to essential biological functions such as cell migration, adhesion, and mitotic spindle orientation. Dysregulation of CDC42 activity is implicated in a variety of pathological conditions, including cancer metastasis, where it drives tumor cell migration and invasion, as well as immune disorders resulting from aberrant cell polarization and trafficking. Mutations in genes regulating CDC42 and its activity are associated with developmental disorders, such as Takenouchi-Kosaki syndrome. Given its central role in cellular signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics, CDC42 is a key player in numerous physiological and pathological contexts, making it a valuable biomarker and therapeutic target.
