Storage before reconstitution The antibody ships as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon arrival, it should be stored at -20°C.
Reconstitution 25 µl, 50 µl or 0.2 ml double distilled water (DDW), depending on the sample size.
Reconstitution 0.2 ml double distilled water (DDW).
Antibody concentration after reconstitution 0.8 mg/ml
Storage after reconstitution The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods, small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. Avoid multiple freezing and thawing. Centrifuge all antibody preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).
Standard quality control of each lot Western blot analysis.

Western blot analysis of mouse brain membranes (lanes 1 and 3) and rat brain membranes (lanes 2 and 4):
IQGAP1 is a 190 kDa (1657 amino acid) protein that is ubiquitously expressed and contains six distinct protein-interacting domains with six coiled coil regions1.
The Ras GTPase-activating-like protein is a scaffold protein involved in regulating various cellular processes; from organizing the actin cytoskeleton, transcription, cell adhesion, and regulating the cell cycle2,3.
IQGAP1 binds to activated CDC42 but does not stimulate its GTPase activity and it may have a role in cell cycle progression following DNA damage1,2. The protein also regulates NR2A NMDA receptor signaling where it influences cognitive processes4. It also regulates MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways5. It is thought to contribute to tumorigenesis by stimulating cell motility and invasion6.
