MESDC2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The MESDC2 protein acts as a chaperone and plays a specific role in promoting the folding of the β-propeller/EGF module within the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family.In addition to participating in LDLR folding, MESDC2 acts as an important regulator of the Wnt pathway by chaperoning the coreceptors LRP5 and LRP6 to the plasma membrane, thereby affecting Wnt signaling.MESDC2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived MESDC2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

MESDC2 protein serves as a chaperone with specific roles in facilitating the folding of beta-propeller/EGF modules within the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family. Beyond its involvement in LDLR folding, MESDC2 acts as a crucial modulator of the Wnt pathway by chaperoning the coreceptors LRP5 and LRP6 to the plasma membrane, influencing Wnt signaling (PubMed:17488095). In embryonic development, MESDC2 plays an essential role in specifying polarity and inducing mesoderm formation. Additionally, it contributes significantly to neuromuscular junction (NMJ) formation by promoting the cell-surface expression of LRP4 (By similarity). The protein may also regulate the phagocytosis of apoptotic retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells (By similarity). As a monomer, MESDC2 interacts with LRP5 and LRP6, preventing their aggregation and guiding them to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, MESDC2 interacts with LRP4, promoting glycosylation and cell-surface expression of LRP4 (By similarity).

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to inhibit Wnt-3a-induced alkaline phosphatase production by MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is 2-8 µg/mL.

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.
