Synonym | Hlb301 |
Background | LDL Receptor, also known as LDLR, is a mosaic protein which belongs to the Low density lipoprotein receptor gene family. The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. LDL Receptor consists of 84 amino acids (after removal of signal peptide) and mediates the endocytosis of cholesterol-rich LDL. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is normally bound at the cell membrane and taken into the cell ending up in lysosomes where the protein is degraded and the cholesterol is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. LDL Receptor is a cell-surface receptor that recognizes the apoprotein B1 which is embedded in the phospholipid outer layer of LDL particles. The receptor also recognizes the apoE protein found in chylomicron remnants and VLDL remnants. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain of mouse LDLR (NP_034830.2) precursor (Met 1-Arg 790) with substitution of Val 23 and Gly 27 by Ala 23 and Cys 27 respectively was expressed with a C-terminal His tag. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Ala 22 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Arg 790 |
Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant mouse LDLR comprises 780 a.a. with a predicted molecular mass of 85.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, it migarates as approximately 120-130 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |
Purity | >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Rat PCSK9 at 10 ug/ml (100 ul/well) can bind biotinylated recombinant mouse LDLR. The EC50 of biotinylated mouse LDLR is 0.173 ug/ml. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |
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. |
