Frizzled-2 (FZD2), partial, human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: Mammalian cell. Expression Region: 24-190aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: C-terminal hFc-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: QFHGEKGISI PDHGFCQPIS IPLCTDIAYN QTIMPNLLGH TNQEDAGLEV HQFYPLVKVQ CSPELRFFLC SMYAPVCTVL EQAIPPCRSI CERARQGCEA LMNKFGFQWP ERLRCEHFPR HGAEQICVGQ NHSEDGAPAL LTTAPPPGLQ PGAGGTPGGP GGGGAPP. Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: n/a. Biological Activity: Not Test. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase. Both pathways seem to involve interactions with G-proteins. May be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues. , (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for C.difficile toxin TcdB in the colonic epithelium. TcdB occupies the binding site for Wnt-adducted palmitoleate in frizzled receptors and TcdB-binding prevents Wnt-binding and downstream Wnt signaling. Reference: n/a. Function: nan
