Biochemical Assays to Detect Activation of Small GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 during Morphogenesis.

Wnt/Frizzled (Fz) signaling controls developmental, physiological, and pathological processes through several distinct pathways. Wnt/Fz activation of the small GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42, is one key mechanism that regulates cell polarity and migration during vertebrate gastrulation. In this chapter, we describe biochemical assays for detection of Wnt/Fz-mediated activation of Rho, Rac and Cdc42 in both mammalian cells and Xenopus embryo explants.
