FZD6 Protein

Catalog No. ABIN7538248

Synthetic Nanodisc FZD6 protein expressed in Mammalian Cells.

Quick Overview for FZD6 Protein (ABIN7538248)

Target: FZD6 (Frizzled Family Receptor 6 (FZD6))

Protein Type: Synthetic Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: Mammalian Cells

Product Details

Purpose: Human FZD6 full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Characteristics: Unlike other membrane scaffold protein (MSP) Nanodisc on the market, our synthetic Nanodisc can be prepared directly from the cells. The polymers used during this process have a dual function. It dissolves the cell membranes, like the detergent, and uses cellular phospholipids to form Nanodisc around the membrane proteins. The target protein embedded Nanodiscs can then be purified.

Application Details

Comment:

Advantages of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Highly purified membrane proteins
• High solubility in aqueous solutions
• High stability
• Proteins are in a native membrane environment and remain biologically active
• No detergent and can be used for cell-based assays
• No MSP backbone proteins

Limitations of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Intolerant to acids and high concentrations of divalent metal ions

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Buffer: Lyophilized from nanodisc solubilization buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization.

Storage: -20 °C,-80 °C

Storage Comment: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.

Expiry Date: 12 months

Target Details

Target: FZD6 (Frizzled Family Receptor 6 (FZD6))

Alternative Name: FZD6

Background: This gene represents a member of the 'frizzled' gene family, which encode 7-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for Wnt signaling proteins. The protein encoded by this family member contains a signal peptide, a cysteine-rich domain in the N-terminal extracellular region, and seven transmembrane domains, but unlike other family members, this protein does not contain a C-terminal PDZ domain-binding motif. This protein functions as a negative regulator of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling cascade, thereby inhibiting the processes that trigger oncogenic transformation, cell proliferation, and inhibition of apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, some of which do not encode a protein with a predicted signal peptide.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
