GFRAL Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

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) is the recombinant mouse-derived GFRAL protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-His labeled tag.

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) is the recombinant mouse-derived GFRAL protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-His 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.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<0.1 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.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
