Product Specs

Introduction
DLX3, a member of the Distal-less (Dlx) gene family, plays a crucial role in the development of the ventral forebrain, craniofacial patterning, and morphogenesis. This gene family comprises at least six members. Mutations in DLX3 are associated with Trichodentoosseous syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition. Located on the long arm of chromosome 17, DLX3 is positioned in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the same gene family.
Description
Recombinant human DLX3, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It encompasses 209 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1-186), resulting in a molecular weight of 23.4 kDa. The protein is engineered with a 23 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has undergone sterile filtration.
Formulation
The DLX3 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store the product frozen at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the protein is greater than 85%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Homeobox protein DLX-3, DLX3, Distal-Less Homeobox 3, AI4, TDO.

Product Science Overview

Evolutionary Background

The Dlx gene family is evolutionarily conserved and is related to the Distal-less (Dll) gene found in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The Dll gene is crucial for the development of the head and limbs in fruit flies . In vertebrates, the Dlx family comprises at least six members: DLX1 to DLX6 .

Genetic and Molecular Characteristics

The DLX3 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 17 in humans. It is arranged in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the Dlx family . The protein itself is composed of 209 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 23.4 kDa .

Biological Functions

DLX3 plays a significant role in the development and differentiation of various tissues. It is particularly important in the formation of craniofacial structures, teeth, and hair follicles . Mutations in the DLX3 gene have been associated with several autosomal dominant conditions, including:

  • Trichodentoosseous Syndrome (TDO): This condition affects the development of teeth, bones, and hair.
  • Amelogenesis Imperfecta with Taurodontism: This condition affects the enamel of the teeth, leading to abnormal tooth development .
Recombinant DLX3 Protein

Recombinant DLX3 protein is often produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and is typically tagged with a His-tag for purification purposes . The recombinant protein is used in various research applications, including studies on gene regulation, developmental biology, and disease mechanisms.

Storage and Handling

Recombinant DLX3 protein is usually stored in a buffer containing Tris-HCl and glycerol. It can be stored at 4°C for short-term use and at -20°C or -80°C for long-term storage. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain protein integrity .
