| Cat. No. : |
HRG-332H |
| Description : |
Heregulin (HRG) is a glycoprotein of 44kDa which binds to c-erbB-3 and c-erbB-4 receptors with low and high affinities, respectively. Heregulins constitute a family of mosaic proteins comprising of at least 12 members. They contain certain recognizable domains which include: an amino terminal (N-ter) region; an immunoglobulinlike motif (Ig); a glycosylated spacer sequence (glyco); an EGF-like motif (EGF), which is subdivided into α and β isoforms; a juxtamembrane region subdivided into isoforms 1-3; a hydrophobic transmembrane domain (TM); a common cytoplasmic tail (Cyto); and a variable-length cytoplasmic tail (a-c). Using this nomenclature, several isoforms of HRG are designated as HRG-α1, HRG-α2, HRG-α3, HRG-β1, HRG-β2, HRG-β3, HRG-α2b, etc. |
| Source : |
E. coli. |
| Comments : |
In SDS-PAGE, the purified recombinant Heregulin α1 protein appears as a single band at 30kDa. Heregulin α1 protein modulates the proliferation and differentiation of cultured mammary cells and stimulates the tyrosine kinase activity of ErbBs. |
| Applications And Suggested Dilutions : |
Western Blotting, Stimulation of Tyrosine Kinase Activity of Erbs (Protein at 5nM); Cell Proliferation and Differentiation (Protein at 5nM: dilute 5μg of stock protein to 30ml of culture medium). The optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by the investigator. |
| Positive Control : |
T47-D breast cancer cells. |
