Product Overview

Description	Recombinant Human TNF-related Weak Inducer Of Apoptosis Receptor is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu28-Trp79 is expressed with a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus.
Accession	Q9NP84
Synonym	TNFRSF12A; Fibroblast growth factor-inducible immediate-early response protein 14; FN14; CD266 antigen and tweak-receptor
Gene Background	Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 12A(TNFRSF12A) is also known as Fibroblast growth factor-inducible immediate-early response protein 14, FN14, CD266 antigen and tweak-receptor. TNFRSF12A is a single-pass type I membrane protein, including a 27 aa signal peptide, a 53 aa extracellular domain, a 21 aa transmembrane domain and a 28 aa cytoplasmic domain. TNFRSF12A is highly expressed in heart, placenta and kidney. TNFRSF12A can be induced by FGF1 and phorbol ester. TNFRSF12A binds to TWEAK/TNFSF12A to initiate a signal transduction cascade, causing different cellular responses such as cell death, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
