In general, protein in liquid form is stable for up to 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Protein in lyophilized powder form is stable for up to 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Notes Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Details

Target Function Acts as a transcriptional activator which regulates the expression of several rod-specific genes, including RHO and PDE6B. Functions also as a transcriptional coactivator, stimulating transcription mediated by the transcription factor CRX and NR2E3. Binds in a sequence-specific manner to the rhodopsin promoter.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Protein Families BZIP family

  • Following Nrl disruption, rods gain partial features of cones and present with improved survival in the presence of mutations in rod-specific genes, consequently preventing secondary cone degeneration. In three different mouse models of retinal degeneration, the treatment substantially improves rod survival and preserves cone function. PMID: 28291770
  • Nrl is posttranscriptionally regulated to facilitate the generation of other cell types in retina PMID: 27878762
  • De novo assembly and alternative splicing analyses revealed previously unannotated rod-enriched transcripts and the role of NRL in transcript maturation. PMID: 27880916
  • Our studies reveal coregulation of coding and noncoding transcripts in rod photoreceptors by NRL and establish the framework for deciphering the function of ncRNAs during retinal development. PMID: 28863214
  • To explore dendritic stratification of OFF bipolar cells in the absence of rods, we made use of the 'cone-full' Nrl-/- mouse retina in which all photoreceptor precursor cells commit to a cone fate including those which would have become rods in wild-type retinas PMID: 28257490
  • CNGA3 expression restored cone function in in CNGA3-/-/Nrl-/- mice, an all-cone model of CNGA3 achromatopsia. PMID: 25855802
  • REEP6.1 is a key functional target of NRL-centered transcriptional regulatory network in rod photoreceptors. PMID: 24691551
  • Data indicate that positive feedback between neural retina leucine zipper factor (NRL) and retinoid-related orphan receptor beta gene (Rorb) genes reinforces the commitment to a rod differentiation fate. PMID: 25296752
  • shRNA-mediated knockdown of Crx and Nrl resulted in reduced Kcnv2 promoter activity and low endogenous Kcnv2 mRNA expression in the retina. PMID: 24664678
  • This study analyzed the retinal pigment epithelium from Nrl(-/-) mice of various ages for lipofuscin fluorescence and A2E levels. PMID: 22417141
  • Findings suggest that elimination of Nrl in adult rods may represent a unique therapy for retinal degeneration. PMID: 23319618
  • Our results show that NRL and CRX together control the expression of most, if not all, genes involved in rod phototransduction through a cis-regulatory module PMID: 22511886
  • found that Nrl activated rhodopsin and Ppp2r5c transcription by recruiting Tip60 to promote histone H3/H4 acetylation PMID: 22354990
  • Nrl as a direct transcriptional target of RORbeta and suggest that combinatorial action of multiple regulatory factors modulates the expression of Nrl in developing and mature retina. PMID: 21673114
  • Nrl-deficient retina may serve as a model for elucidating mechanisms of cone homeostasis and degeneration that would be relevant to understanding diseases of the cone-dominant human macula. PMID: 22238088
  • a model in which Nrl expression is primarily initiated by OTX2 and RORbeta and later maintained at high levels by CRX and RORbeta. PMID: 21865162
  • Cone-like outer segment phagocytosis in Nrl(-/-) mice shows a similar profile to that of rods in normal mice and other species. PMID: 21203345
  • results suggest that Ppp2r5c expression is regulated by Nrl during retinogenesis through direct binding to the promoter region of Ppp2r5c PMID: 21078119
  • Studies suggest an important role of sumoylation in fine-tuning the activity of NRL and thereby incorporating yet another layer of control in gene regulatory networks involved in photoreceptor development and homeostasis. PMID: 20551322
  • the function of NRL is modulated by its interaction with specific repressor proteins, related to cross-talk between signaling pathways in the retina PMID: 12566383
  • both Nrl and Crx are required for full transcriptional activity of the PDE6A gene PMID: 15001570

  • NRL is not only essential but is sufficient for rod differentiation PMID: 17242361
  • Nrl and Grk1 have roles in photoresponse recovery and age-related degeneration PMID: 17249566

    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.
