Recombinant Human APC protein (His tag)

APC is a ubiquitous, tumor-suppressor protein that is mutated in most colon cancers, generally resulting in a gene product that is truncated in the carboxy terminal region. APC contains several binding domains. The region used as an immunogen overlaps the EB1, DLG (PDZ sequence), and PSD-93 domains. These domains bind microtubules, mitotic spindles, and F-actin and are involved in cell cycle, division, and migration. The immunogen does not include the beta-catenin-binding region, which antagonizes Wnt signaling. The human APC amino acid sequence used as immunogen is 83% and 86% identical to mouse and rat APC, respectively.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
