Introduction
Dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3) is a member of the DKK protein family, which also includes Dkk-1, 2, and 4. It is a secreted glycoprotein composed of 350 amino acids, featuring an N-terminal signal peptide and two conserved cysteine-rich domains connected by a 12-amino acid linker region. DKK3 plays a role in embryonic development by inhibiting the WNT signaling pathway. Notably, DKK3 gene expression is often downregulated in various cancer cell lines, suggesting it may act as a tumor suppressor gene.
Description
Recombinant Human DKK3 is a single polypeptide chain consisting of 337 amino acids (22-350). It is engineered with an 8-amino acid His-tag fused to the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
DKK3 was lyophilized from a 0.2µM filtered solution containing 20mM PB and 150mM NaCl, at a pH of 7.2.
Solubility
To reconstitute lyophilized DKK3, it is recommended to dissolve it in 1xPBS to achieve a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml. This solution can be further diluted in other aqueous solutions as needed.
Stability
Lyophilized DKK3 remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. However, for long-term storage, it should be kept desiccated below -18°C. After reconstitution, DKK3 should be stored at 4°C for a period of 2-7 days. For future use, store below -18°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Dickkopf 3 homolog (Xenopus laevis), dickkopf-related protein 3, regulated in glioma, RIG, RIG-like 7-1, RIG-like 5-6, Dkk-3, REIC.
