GFRAL Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His-Avi)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

GFRAL protein, a brainstem-restricted receptor, regulates food intake, energy expenditure, and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses. It binds with GDF15, interacts with RET, and activates MAPK- and AKT- signaling pathways. GFRAL acts as a receptor for GDF15 and mediates cellular signaling through RET, requiring prior GDF15 binding. GFRAL Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His-Avi) is the recombinant mouse-derived GFRAL protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His, N-Avi labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

GFRAL protein, a brainstem-restricted receptor, regulates food intake, energy expenditure, and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses. It binds with GDF15, interacts with RET, and activates MAPK- and AKT- signaling pathways. GFRAL acts as a receptor for GDF15 and mediates cellular signaling through RET, requiring prior GDF15 binding. GFRAL Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His-Avi) is the recombinant mouse-derived GFRAL protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His, N-Avi labeled tag.

Background

GFRAL protein is a brainstem-restricted receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating food intake, energy expenditure, and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses. Upon binding with its ligand, GDF15, GFRAL interacts with RET and activates MAPK- and AKT- signaling pathways. GFRAL interacts with GDF15 and RET through its extracellular domain, acting as a receptor for GDF15 and mediating cellular signaling through the interaction with RET after GDF15 binding. It is important to note that the interaction with RET requires previous GDF15 binding.

Verified Bioactivity

1. Immobilized Mouse GFRAL, His Tag at 2μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Mouse GDF15, hFc Tag with the EC50 of less than 6.5ng/ml determined by ELISA.
2. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Mouse GFRAL at 0.1 μg/mL (100μL/well) can bind Biotinylated Mouse GDF-15 (HY-P77945A). The ED50 for this effect is 1.458 ng/mL.
