Biological Activity

Description

ALK-7 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived ALK-7 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-8*His tag.

Background

ALK-7 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that forms a receptor complex upon ligand binding. The receptor complex consists of 2 type II and 2 type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors, which then autophosphorylate and bind to activate SMAD transcriptional regulators SMAD2 and SMAD3. ALK-7 serves as a receptor for activin AB, activin B, activin E, and NODAL. Upon binding to NODAL, ALK-7 activation leads to increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation by suppressing AKT signaling and activating the Smad2-dependent signaling pathway in pancreatic beta-cells, trophoblasts, epithelial cells, or neuronal cells. Additionally, ALK-7 acts as a positive regulator for macrophage activation, partially by downregulating PPARG expression.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl (pH 7.5), 8% trehalose.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

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.

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. 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.
