Recombinant Human Cerberus1 (C-6His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Human Cerberus1 (C-6His) protein,aslo know as Cerberus,Cerberus-Related Protein,DAN Domain Family Member 4,CER1,DAND4, which features high purity, high activity, and high stability. It can be applied in scientific research, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE;Endotoxin Level:<1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Human Cerberus 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Thr18-Ala267 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.Accession:O95813. Expression Host:Human Cells.Species:Human.Predicted Molecular Mass:29.19 KDa. Background:Cerberus 1 is a secreted glycoprotein that forms disulfide-linked homodimers. It is a cytokine member of the DAN domain family of BMP antagonists that includes DAN (DAND1), Gremlin/Drm (DAND2), PRDC (Protein Related to Dan and Cerberus, DAND3), and COCO/Dante (DAND5). DAN family members contain a cysteine knot domain that is homologous to that found in other TGF-beta superfamily ligands. At the onset of gastrulation, Cerberus 1 is transiently expressed in anterior endodermal structures in response to Nodal and Shh. Cerberus 1 binds BMP-4 and Nodal and inhibits their activities. The inhibitory functions of Cerberus favor mesodermal development in the anterior region of the gastrula and suppresses posterior mesodermal differentiation. In chick and Xenopus, Cerberus 1 also regulates, but is not required for embryonic left-right polarization, neurulation, and head and heart induction.
