Product Science Overview

Introduction

LIM Domain Containing 2 (LIMD2) is a protein encoded by the LIMD2 gene in humans. This protein is part of the LIM domain family, which is characterized by the presence of LIM domains - specialized zinc-binding domains that play crucial roles in protein-protein interactions .

Structure and Function

LIMD2 contains multiple LIM domains, which are essential for its function as an adaptor protein in the formation of multi-protein complexes involved in signaling pathways . These domains facilitate the binding of metal ions, contributing to the stability and proper folding of the protein .

Expression and Localization

LIMD2 is predominantly located in the cytosol and nucleoplasm of cells . It is involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of cell motility through its interaction with the protein-kinase ILK (Integrin-linked kinase) .

Recombinant LIMD2

Recombinant LIMD2 refers to the artificially synthesized version of the protein, produced using recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting the gene encoding LIMD2 into an expression system, such as bacteria or insect cells, to produce the protein in large quantities . The recombinant protein is often tagged with a marker, such as His6, to facilitate purification and characterization .

Applications

Recombinant LIMD2 is used in various research applications, including:

  • Studying protein-protein interactions: Understanding how LIMD2 interacts with other proteins in signaling pathways.
  • Investigating post-translational modifications: Analyzing how modifications affect the protein’s function and behavior.
  • Developing therapeutic strategies: Exploring potential roles of LIMD2 in diseases and developing targeted therapies.
Clinical Relevance

Mutations or dysregulation of the LIMD2 gene have been associated with certain diseases, such as Spastic Paraplegia 9B, Autosomal Recessive . Research on LIMD2 continues to uncover its roles in various cellular processes and its potential implications in human health.
