RHEB is a member of the small GTPase superfamily and encodes a lipid-anchored, cell membrane protein with five repeats of the RAS-related GTP-binding region. RHEB is vital in the regulation of growth and cell cycle progression. RHEB has GTPase activity and shuttles between a GDP-bound form and a GTP-bound form. Drosophila RHEB is a direct target of Tsc2 GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity both in vivo and in vitro. Point mutations in the Drosophila RHEB gene inhibit cell growth while overexpression promotes cell growth. RHEB functions downstream of Tsc1 and Tsc2 in the mTOR signaling pathway. RHEB Protein is ideal for investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, G-Proteins, Angiogenesis, Apoptosis/Autophagy, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, ERK/MAPK Pathway, Invasion/Metastasis, and Neurobiology research.
Store product at –70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
