Introduction
Tyrosine-protein kinase Lyn (LYN) is a member of the src family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases. Primarily found in haematopoietic tissues, LYN plays a role in activating the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathway in response to DNA damage. It does not, however, activate ERK or p38 MAPK pathways. LYN's stimulation of SAPK involves a mechanism dependent on MKK7 and MEKK1. This LYN - MEKK1 - MKK7 - SAPK pathway is significant in triggering apoptosis as a response to genotoxic agents.
Description
Recombinant human LYN protein, produced in E.coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 535 amino acids (residues 1-512), with a molecular weight of 61.0kDa. The LYN protein has a 23 amino acid His-tag fused to its N-terminus.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The LYN solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4M urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep refrigerated at 4°C. For extended periods, store frozen at -20°C. To ensure stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein like 0.1% HSA or BSA is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE indicates a purity greater than 85.0%.
