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

Cat. No.: HY-P70192
Handling Instructions

GFRA2, also known as GDNFR-α-2, acts as a receptor for neurotrophic factor (NRTN) and promotes NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and RET receptor activation. In addition to neurotrophic factor signaling, GFRA2 can also mediate GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase. GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of GFRA2/GDNFR-alpha-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 420 a.a., with molecular weight of ~80.0 kDa.

Background

GFRA2, also known as GDNFR-alpha-2, serves as a receptor for neurturin (NRTN), facilitating the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. In addition to its role in neurturin signaling, GFRA2 exhibits the capability to mediate GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. Notably, GFRA2 plays a role in the NRTN-induced phosphorylation of STAT3 at 'Ser-727,' highlighting its involvement in the activation of downstream signaling pathways. This multifaceted receptor thus contributes to the intricate cellular responses orchestrated by neurturin and GDNF through the RET receptor.

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
