Description

CUZD1 Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Glu25-Ser568) containing a total of 554 amino acids, having a calculated molecular mass of 62.2kDa and fused to a 10 aa His tag at C-Terminus.

Product Specs

Introduction
Antibodies targeting CUB and Zona Pellucida-Like Domains 1 (CUZD1) have been shown to inhibit both the attachment and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, suggesting a potential role for CUZD1 in these cellular processes. Furthermore, studies indicate that CUZD1 may play a role in uterine function during the later stages of pregnancy and/or in the activation of trypsin within pancreatic acinar cells.
Description
This recombinant human CUZD1 protein, expressed in HEK cells, consists of a single glycosylated polypeptide chain encompassing amino acids Glu25 to Ser568 (totaling 554 amino acids). It has a predicted molecular weight of 62.2 kDa and includes a 10 amino acid His tag fused to the C-terminus.
Physical Appearance
The product is provided as a sterile, white, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The CUZD1 protein was subjected to filtration (0.4 µm) and subsequently lyophilized in a solution of phosphate buffered saline containing 5% (w/v) trehalose.
Solubility
To prepare a working stock solution, it is recommended to add deionized water to the lyophilized pellet, aiming for a final concentration of approximately 0.5 mg/ml. Allow sufficient time for the pellet to dissolve completely. Prior to use in cell culture, ensure sterility by filtering the reconstituted protein solution through an appropriate sterile filter.
Stability
The lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. To minimize freeze-thaw cycles, it is advisable to aliquot the reconstituted protein. While the reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period, it is generally stable for up to two weeks at this temperature without significant degradation.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE indicates a purity exceeding 95.0%.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The CUZD1 gene is located on chromosome 10 and encodes a protein that is 607 amino acids long. The protein structure includes:

  • An N-terminal signal peptide
  • Two tandem CUB domains
  • A ZP domain
  • A transmembrane region
  • A short C-terminal tail

The N-terminal region is predicted to be extracellular, while the C-terminal region is cytoplasmic .

Biological Functions

CUZD1 is localized to zymogen granules, where it functions in the activation of trypsinogen, an enzyme precursor involved in digestion . Additionally, CUZD1 may indirectly regulate cell motility, cell-cell, and cell-extracellular matrix interactions .

Clinical Significance

CUZD1 has been identified as a novel serological biomarker for ovarian cancer. Elevated levels of CUZD1 have been observed in patients with ovarian cancer compared to healthy controls . This makes CUZD1 a promising candidate for early diagnosis and monitoring of ovarian cancer.

Research and Applications

Research on CUZD1 is ongoing, with studies focusing on its role in various cancers and its potential as a therapeutic target. The recombinant form of CUZD1 is used in research to study its functions and interactions in a controlled environment.
