Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | Q6ZVN8 |
Synonym | HFE2A, HJV, JH, RGMC |
Background | Hemojuvelin, also known as HFE2, is a membrane-bound and soluble protein which belongs to the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family. It is known that RGMs function through Neogenin, a homologue of the Netrin receptor deleted in colon cancer. In mammals, RGM family consists of three glycoproteins which have discrete expression patterns and functions (RGM-A, RGM-B, and RGM-C). Hemojuvelin is expressed in adult and fetal liver, heart, and skeletal muscle. Hemojuvelin acts as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) coreceptor. Enhancement of BMP signaling regulates hepcidin (HAMP) expression and iron metabolism. It plays a key role in iron metabolism. Hemojuvelin represents the cellular receptor for hepcidin. It may be a component of the signaling pathway which activates hepcidin or it may act as a modulator of hepcidin expression. Defects in hemojuvelin are the cause of hemochromatosis type 2A, also known as juvenile hemochromatosis (JH). |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the mature form of human HFE2 isoform a (Q6ZVN8-1) (Met 1-Ser 399) was fused with a His tag at the C-terminus. |
Source | Baculovirus-Insect Cells |
Predicted N Terminal | Gln 36 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Ser 399 |
Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant human HFE2 consists of 374 a.a. and predicts a molecular mass of 40 kDa. As a result of intracellular cleavage, the apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 20, 34 and 44 KDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, corresponding to the N-terminal, C-terminal portions and the full-length respectively. |
Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Please contact us for detailed information |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, 500mM NaCl, pH 7.0, 10% gly. |
Stability | The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
