Immunochemical staining of human CDC42EP2 in human kidney with rabbit polyclonal antibody at 1:1000 dilution, formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections.
CEP2 (CDC42EP2) is a member of the CDC42 subfamily that belongs to the Rho family. The Rho family plays an important role in a variety of cellular processes including skeletal myogenesis. The expression of CEP2 increases significantly during C2C12 myogenesis. Overexpression of CEP2 could attenuate myoblast differentiation, while knockdown of CEP2 by siRNA results in enhancing myogenesis. Furthermore, CEP2 attenuates myoblast differentiation via suppression of muscle regulatory factors (MRFs) rather than influencing myoblast proliferation. CEP2 acts as a repressor during myogenesis, which provides new insights into the role of CEP2 in muscle development. The confocal fluorescent staining results confirmed that stretch-induced realignment of cells and rearrangement of microfilaments. Among the 84 genes screened, the protein expression level of Cdc42 effector protein-2 (encoded by CDC42EP2) was down-regulated.
