FAQs	Question 1: After reconstituting the lyophilized protein with water, what is the composition of the buffer the wild-type human Cdc42 protein is in? Answer 1: The protein should be reconstituted to 5 mg/ml by the addition of Milli-Q water. The protein will be in the following buffer: 50 mM Tris pH 7.6, 0.5 mM MgCl₂, 50 mM NaCl, 3% sucrose, and 0.6% dextran. In order to maintain high biological activity of the protein, it is strongly recommended that the protein solution be supplemented with DTT to 1 mM final concentration. Question 2: Can the wild-type human Cdc42 protein be microinjected into cells? Answer 2: Yes, the wild-type human Cdc42 protein can be microinjected into living cells to monitor the localization of Cdc42.

Material	The human Cdc42 protein has been produced in a bacterial expression system. The protein is supplied as a lyophilized powder.When it is reconstituted in distilled water to 1 mg/ml, the protein is in the following buffer: 2 mM Tris pH 7.6, 0.5 mM MgCl₂ 0.5% sucrose, 0.1% dextran. Protein concentration is determined by the Precision Red Advanced Protein Assay Reagent, Cat. # ADV02. The recombinant protein is 22 kDa, consisting of the 22 kDa Cdc42 protein plus a 6 amino acid histidine tag in the amino-terminus. For other forms of Cdc42 as well as many other purified small G-proteins, see our main small G-protein product page
Biological Activity	The biological activity of CD01 is determined by its ability to exchange nucleotide. This is tested by a pulldown assay using GST-tagged PAK-1 PBD beads (Cat. # PAK02) and GTP?S (Cat. # BS01) or GDP loaded His-Cdc42. The PAK (p21 activated kinase) protein is an effector of Cdc42, and will specifically bind to the GTP bound form Cdc42. Using this assay, the amount of biologically active GTP-bound Cdc42 is determined. Stringent quality control ensures that > 70% of the Cdc42 protein produced is capable of binding GTP.
Figure 1 Legend	His-Cdc42 protein purity determination. A 10 ug sample of CD01 (His-Cdc42 molecular weight approx. 22 kDa) was separated by electrophoresis in a 12% SDS-PAGE system. The protein was stained with Coomassie Blue.
