Product Overview
Recombinant Mouse Frizzled-8 protein, (Ala25-Pro173) & (Ala28-Pro173), with a human IgG1 (Pro100-Lys330) Fc tag at C-terminus was expressed in Mouse myeloma cell line.
Description
This intronless gene is a member of the frizzled gene family. Members of this family encode seven-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for the Wingless type MMTV integration site family of signaling proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway. This gene is highly expressed in two human cancer cell lines, indicating that it may play a role in several types of cancer. The crystal structure of the extracellular cysteine-rich domain of a similar mouse protein has been determined.
Bio-activity
Measured by its ability to inhibit Wnt-3a-induced alkaline phosphatase production by MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is 15-75 ng/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL of Recombinant Mouse Wnt-3a. Measured by its ability to bind biotinylated recombinant mouse Wnt-5a in a functional ELISA with an estimated Kd <1 nM.
Storage
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
