Catalogue

Background
Lfc is a 118 kDa protein discovered in a screen for oncogenes in NIH 3T3 cells. Lfc is a signaling protein related to Lbc and is part of the Dbl family of proteins. Lfc is a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the Rho family of small GTPases. Lfc has also been shown to be upstream of the serine-threonine kinase JNK. Lfc has also been shown to mediate the activation of the Rac signaling pathway.

Synonyms: Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2, ARHGEF2

Source

Immunogen: Antibody developed using protein corresponding to amino acids 2 to 447 of the Lfc protein fused to GST.
