Recombinant GTP Signal Transduction Proteins

The term GTPase, GTP-binding protein - or simply G-protein - is used for enzymes that are involved in cellular signal transduction by utilizing the nucleotide GTP. They consist of 2 major subgroups called *Heterotrimeric G-proteins* and *Small GTPases*, and their activities are modulated by GEFs and GAPs in a cycling fashion (see figure below).
Traditionally, measuring the activation state of a small GTPase in vivo (i.e. the GTPase-GDP/GTP levels) required tedious 32P-labelling of cells, enzyme isolation and HPLC of bound GDP and GTP.

All antibodies are recommended for Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluoerescence, Immunoprecipitation (IP) and ELISA.
