KIRREL3/NEPH2 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His)

The KIRREL3/NEPH2 protein plays a critical role in the formation of precise synapses, particularly in hippocampal mossy fiber synapses, where it is responsible for coordinating mossy fiber filopodia. It acts in a homologous manner to stabilize filopodia contacts and facilitate subsequent synapse formation. KIRREL3/NEPH2 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived KIRREL3/NEPH2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

The KIRREL3/NEPH2 protein emerges as a pivotal synaptic adhesion molecule essential for the precise formation of target-specific synapses, particularly notable at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses. Its significance extends to the orchestration of mossy fiber filopodia, critical synaptic structures linking dentate granule and GABA neurons. Functionally, KIRREL3/NEPH2 likely serves as a homophilic adhesion molecule, fostering trans-cellular interactions and playing a key role in stabilizing mossy fiber filipodia contacts, thereby facilitating subsequent synapse formation. Beyond the hippocampus, KIRREL3/NEPH2 is vital for the coalescence of vomeronasal sensory neuron axons. Moreover, it may play a role in the hematopoietic supportive capacity of stroma cells, with its secreted extracellular domain directly supporting hematopoietic stem cells. Functioning as a homodimer, KIRREL3/NEPH2 mediates homophilic interactions crucial for promoting cell adhesion. Additionally, it engages in a spectrum of protein-protein interactions, including the formation of heterodimers with NPHS1, interactions with NPHS2/podocin, CASK, MAP1B, MYO16, ATP1B1, SHMT2, and UFC1, underscoring its multifaceted and integral role in diverse cellular processes.

  ≥ 95%, as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

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).

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.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
