Rho proteins function as molecular switches that are able to turn cytokinesis on and off. Although little is known about signaling downstream of Rho, a host of putative Rho effector proteins have been described. Rho F (ras homolog gene family, member F), also known as RIF or ARHF, is a 211 amino acid membrane protein that localizes to the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. Belonging to the small GTPase superfamily and the Rho family, Rho F functions cooperatively with Cdc42 and Rac to generate additional cytoskeletal structures, such as increasing variation of actin-based morphology. Rho F exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 12q24.31.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere multiple assay formats are possible, align the antibody format, host\/isotype, and listed applications with your detection system and controls to support clear interpretation of signal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBiological background\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this catalog, RHOF is positioned within \u003cstrong\u003eCytoskeleton \u0026amp; Motility\u003c\/strong\u003e research contexts.
