Gene Information

human ... FGD1(2245)

General description

Facio-genital dysplasia protein (FGD1) is an upstream regulator of Rho GTPases and is involved in the normal development of embryos. It is also known to function as a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor which is specific for Cdc42Hs. FGD1 mutations have been implicated in Aarskog syndrome.
Rabbit Anti-FGD1 antibody recognizes canine, bovine, human, mouse, and rat FGD1.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human FGD1

Application

Rabbit Anti-FGD1 antibody has been used for western blotting assays at a concentration of 2.0μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FGD1 contains Dbl (DH) and pleckstrin (PH) homology domains. It can bind specifically to the Rho family GTPase Cdc42Hs and stimulate the GDP-GTP exchange of the isoprenylated form of Cdc42Hs. It also stimulates the mitogen activated protein kinase cascade leading to c-Jun kinase SAPK/JNK1 activation. FGD1 has an essential role in embryonic development, and FGD1 gene mutations result in the human developmental disorder, Aarskog-Scott syndrome.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: WMAVLGRAGRGDTFCPGPTLSEDREMEEAPVAALGATAEPPESPQTRDKT

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

The Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins plays important roles in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization and cell growth. Activation of these GTPases involves the replacement of bound GDP with GTP, a process catalyzed by the Dbl-like guanine-nucleotide exchange

The Aarskog syndrome or facio-genital dysplasia (FGDY, MIM No. 305400) is an X-linked condition characterized by short stature, macrocephaly, facial, genital and skeletal anomalies. It is caused by mutation of the FGD1 gene mapped to the Xp11.21 region. To date

The BRAF V600E mutation plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). To explore an epigenetic mechanism involved in this process, we performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis using a methylated CpG island amplification (MCA)/CpG island

Although BRAF(V600E) is well known to play an important role in the tumorigenesis of melanoma, its molecular mechanism, particularly the epigenetic aspect, has been incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of BRAF(V600E) signaling in altering gene methylation in the
