GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

Cat. No.: HY-P76950
SDS COA Handling Instructions

GFRA2/GDNFR-α-2 protein acts as a receptor for neurotrophic factors and promotes NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and RET receptor activation. It also mediates GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

GFRA2/GDNFR-α-2 protein acts as a receptor for neurotrophic factors and promotes NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and RET receptor activation. It also mediates GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 Protein serves as the receptor for neurturin, facilitating the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. Additionally, it plays a role in mediating GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. Notably, GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 is involved in the NRTN-induced phosphorylation of STAT3 at 'Ser-727,' highlighting its participation in signaling pathways associated with cell responses. These interactions underscore the significance of GFRA2 in transducing signals that regulate cellular processes and contribute to the intricate network of signaling events involved in neuronal development and maintenance.

Biological Activity

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Recombinant Mouse Neurturin at 1 μg/mL binds Recombinant Mouse GFR alpha-2/GDNF R alpha-2. The ED50 for this effect is 3.307 nM.

Molecular Weight

Approximately 70-80 kDa due to the glycosylation.

Purity
  • Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
