RWDD3 Antibody

RWDD3 Antibody: RWDD3 (RSUME), a small RWD-containing protein, has a central role in sumoylation by enhancing SUMO conjugation in the regulatory network of immune-inflammatory signals. RWDD3 increases Iκ Beta sumoylation and stability. In addition, RWDD3 inhibits TNF-α -induced kappaB-LUC (Luciferase) reporter activity, showing the functional consequence of Iκ Beta increased stability. RSUME-enhanced sumoylation of Iκ Beta leads to the inhibition of NF-κ Beta activity on two well-known inflammatory genes, IL-8 and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) and therefore may also favor anti-inflammatory pathways. Expression of RWDD3 was induced under hypoxic conditions and it has a potential role during vascularization. Both BMP-4 and RWDD3 may be interesting targets for inhibiting steps involved in pituitary tumorigenesis.

RWDD3 antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
