Human GFR alpha-like Protein, His Tag (MALS verified)

GFR alpha-like is also known as GDNF family receptor alpha-like, GFRAL, C6orf144, UNQ9356, PRO34128. Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) is a circulating protein that has been implicated in multiple biological processes, including energy homeostasis, body weight regulation, and cachexia driven by cancer and chronic disease. GDNF family receptor α-like (GFRAL) was recently identified as the neuronal brainstem receptor responsible for mediating the anorectic actions of GDF15. Brainstem-restricted receptor for GDF15 which regulates food intake, energy expenditure and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses . Upon interaction with its ligand, GDF15, interacts with RET and induces cellular signaling through activation of MAPK- and AKT- signaling pathways.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 39.7 kDa. The protein migrates as 43-60 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.

Immobilized Human GDF-15, Fc Tag (Cat. No. GD5-H5269) at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human GFR alpha-like, His Tag (Cat. No. GFA-H52H3) with a linear range of 0.02-0.313 μg/mL (QC tested).
