Human ACVR2 / ACTRII / ACVR2A Protein (Fc Tag)

ACTRII,ACVR2

100ug (NPP1865) Please inquiry

Catalog Number	P10257-H02H
Organism Species	Human
Host	Human Cells
Synonyms	ACTRII,ACVR2
Molecular Weight	The recombinant human ACVR2A/Fc chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimer protein generated after removal of the signal peptide. The monomer comprises 352 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 40.0 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the monomer migrates as an approximately 60-65 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N	Ala 20
SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the N-terminal segment (Met 1-Pro 134) from the extracellular domain of human ACVR2A (NP_001607.1) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity	Measured by its ability to neutralize Activin-mediated inhibition on MPC11 cell proliferation. The ED₅₀ for this effect is typically 10-40 ng/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL recombinant Activin A.
Research Area	Cancer \|Invasion microenvironment \|Angiogenesis \|Growth Factor & Receptor \|Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-beta) Superfamily \|TGF-beta Superfamily Receptors \|
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background	ACVR2A and ACVR2B are two activin type II receptors. ACVR2A has been shown to interact with INHBA, SYNJ2BP and ACVR1B. The bovine ACVR2A gene encodes a protein of 513 amino acids which is highly homologous (approximately 98% identity) to the rat, mouse, and human ACVR2A proteins. Inactivation of ACVR2A is a common event in prostate cancer cells suggesting it may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer. The ACVR2A gene is a putative tumor suppressor gene that is frequently mutated in microsatellite-unstable colon cancers (MSI-H colon cancers). Frameshift mutation of ACVR2A may contribute to MSI-H colon tumorigenesis via disruption of alternate TGF-beta effector pathways.
