TWEAKR belongs to the TNF family of transmembrane proteins and contains a cytoplasmic "death domain", which can activated the cell's apoptotic machinery. It is expressed in the spleen, thymus, peripheral blood lymphocytes, colon, and small intestine. Signal transduction by TWEAKR can be activated by either the membrane anchored or the soluble TWEAK. Recombinant soluble TWEAKR is a 53aa polypeptide, 5.6kD, comprising the entire extracellular domain of the full length TWEAKR protein.
Source:
Recombinant protein corresponding to human TWEAK Receptor, expressed in E.coli.
Biological Activity:
Determined by its ability to inhibit TWEAK-induced weak cell death of HT29 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 1-3ug/ml.
Endotoxin:
<0.1ng/ug (1EU/ug)
AA Sequence:
EQAPGTAPCS RGSSWSADLD KCMDCASCRA RPHSDFCLGC AAAPPAPFRL LWP
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
