Description

The Menin protein is an important component of the MLL/SET1 HMT complex, which methylates “Lys-4” of histone H3. It acts as a transcriptional regulator, inhibiting telomerase expression and inhibiting cell proliferation through TGFB1. Menin Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Menin protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of Menin Protein, Human (His) is 615 a.a., .

Background

Menin emerges as a pivotal component within the MLL/SET1 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, wielding specificity in methylating 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4) and thereby acting as a transcriptional regulator. Its regulatory influence extends to the TERT promoter, where it represses telomerase expression, and to TGFB1-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation, potentially modulating SMAD3 transcriptional activity. Menin's repertoire includes repression of JUND-mediated transcriptional activation on AP1 sites and NFKB subunit RELA, coupled with positive regulation of HOXC8 and HOXC6 gene expression. It may contribute to normal hematopoiesis by activating HOXA9 expression. Additionally, Menin's involvement in DNA repair adds another layer to its functional complexity. Within the MLL-HCF complex and the menin-associated histone methyltransferase complex, Menin collaborates with a network of proteins, such as KMT2A/MLL1, ASH2L, RBBP5, DPY30, WDR5, HCFC1, HCFC2, and others. Noteworthy interactions include those with POLR2B, POLR2A, FANCD2, DBF4, JUND, SMAD3, NFKB1, NFKB2, RELA, and KMT2A, highlighting the intricate web of molecular relationships that underlie Menin's diverse functions.

Help & FAQs
  • How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

    1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss. 2. Taking 10 μg as an example, first add 20 μL of reconstituted solution provided by MCE and use a pipette to gently resuspend the lyophilized protein until it is fully dissolved.. (For most proteins, the reconstitution solution we provide is sterile water. If a diluent other than water is required, it will be indicated in the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA).). 3. Add an additional 80 μL of buffer/culture medium containing carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% trehalose), and then use a pipette to gently mix until uniform. The final concentration is should not be lower than 100 μg/mL. 4. Aliquot at least 20 μL per tube. 5. After aliquoting, store it frozen at a temperature ranging from -20ºC to -80ºC, and it can be preserved for 3 to 6 months.

  • How should solution-form recombinant proteins be stored?

    1. The product can be stored in its original form and diluted as needed upon use. 2. Alternatively, dilute with a buffer/culture medium containing a carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% alginate), mix well by pipetting, and ensure that

  • Why is it necessary to add carrier proteins?

    Carrier proteins are commonly added to enhance the stability of recombinant proteins, preventing them from adhering to the walls of the container during freezing or thawing processes. Plastic tubes have a certain adsorptive capacity for proteins, which may lead to difficulty in separating the protein from the tube walls, resulting in a decrease in the actual concentration of the protein in the solution and thus affecting its activity. To minimize such losses, it is recommended to add a commonly used carrier protein solution prior to the long-term storage of recombinant protein products.

  • Carrier protein types and options?

    In cases where the carrier protein is not expected to influence the experimental outcomes, an appropriate carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin), 5% HSA (Human Serum Albumin), 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), or 5% trehalose, can be incorpo

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)
