MESDC2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

MESD (Mesoderm Development LRP Chaperone) is a Protein Coding gene. LDLR chaperone MESD, also known as Mesoderm development protein, Mesoderm development candidate 2, Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-61, and MESDC2, is a member of the MESD family. It is widely expressed in the thyroid, placenta, and other tissues. MESDC2 is a chaperone specifically assisting the folding of beta-propeller/EGF modules within the family of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs) . The LDLR maturation activity resides in the N- and C-terminal unstructured regions. MESDC2 acts as a modulator of the Wnt pathway since some LDLRs are coreceptors for the canonical Wnt pathway. MESDC2 is essential for the specification of embryonic polarity and mesoderm induction.

A DNA sequence encoding the human MESDC2 (NP_055969.1) (Ala 34-Lys 230) was fused with a signal peptide at the N-terminus and a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human MESDC2 consists of 208 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 23.6 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of rh MESDC2 is approximately 27 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
