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

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

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.

Biological Activity

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.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 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 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.
