Active Recombinant Human RSPO1

• Cat.No.: RSPO1-351H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human RSPO1 (NP_001033722.1) (Met 1-Ala 263) was produced in CHO Cells.

Specification

• Source: CHO
• Species: Human
• Tag: Non
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0.
  Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to induce activation of ßcatenin response in a Topflash Luciferase assay using HEK293T human embryonic kidney cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 10-80 ng/mL in the presence of 5 ng/mL recombinant mouse Wnt3a.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human RSPO1 consists of 243 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 26.8 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of it is approximately 40 and 31 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
• Protein length: Met1-Ala263
• Endotoxin: < 10 EU per mg protein.
• Purity: ≥ 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE. ≥95% as determined by SEC-HPLC
• Storage: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C
  Store it 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.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4℃ before opening to recover the entire contents.

Q&As

What distinguishes RSPO1 from other RSPO molecules, particularly in terms of its potential therapeutic use in Regenerative Medicine?

RSPO1 stands out for its potential therapeutic use in Regenerative Medicine due to its mitogenic activity in stem cells.

What methods were employed to characterize the purified rhRSPO1, both structurally and biologically?

Characterization methods included Western blotting, mass spectrometry, and in vitro (C2C12 cells) and in vivo (BALB/c mice) biological activity assays, confirming structural integrity and biological efficacy.

What tissue-specific processes are regulated by RSPOs, and what are some examples of these processes?

RSPOs regulate various tissue-specific processes, including bone formation, skeletal muscle tissue development, proliferation of pancreatic β-cells, intestinal stem cells, and cancer progression.

Describe the purification strategy used to obtain rhRSPO1, including the chromatographic steps involved.

The purification strategy for rhRSPO1 involved two sequential chromatographic steps: heparin affinity chromatography followed by molecular exclusion chromatography.

How does RSPO1 induce the Wnt pathway, and what are the downstream effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, and death?

RSPO1 induces the Wnt pathway by stabilizing the Wnt receptor complex, leading to enhanced Wnt signaling and influencing cellular processes.

How was recombinant human RSPO1 (rhRSPO1) generated, and which cell line was used for this purpose?

rhRSPO1 was generated using the HEK293 cell line, and the coding sequence was synthesized and subcloned into a mammalian cell expression vector.

What is the main function of R-Spondin proteins, including RSPO1, in cellular processes?

R-Spondin proteins, including RSPO1, play crucial roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death by inducing the Wnt pathway.
