Product Specs

Introduction
Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 4 (NCF4) is a key regulatory component of the NADPH oxidase enzyme system in phagocytes, crucial for the host's immune defense. Primarily found in myeloid cells, NCF4 forms a complex with NCF2, which interacts with NCF1 and the RAC1 protein. This complex activates flavocytochrome b, a critical part of the NADPH oxidase system. NCF4 also plays a role in PI(3) kinase signaling pathways. Its phosphorylation can downregulate enzyme activity.
Description
Recombinant human NCF4, expressed in E. coli, is a purified, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 359 amino acids (with the first 339 being the native sequence) and a molecular weight of 41.1 kDa. The protein includes an N-terminal 20 amino acid His-tag for purification.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless, and sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The NCF4 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 M NaCl, 10% glycerol, and 1 mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For longer periods, storage at -20°C is recommended. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for extended storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the protein is greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The NCF4 gene is located on chromosome 22 and encodes a protein that is approximately 40 kilodaltons in size . The protein contains several important domains, including a PX domain that binds to phospholipid products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), suggesting its role in PI3K-mediated signaling events . The protein also has an SH3 domain, which is involved in protein-protein interactions .

Function and Mechanism

Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 4 is primarily expressed in cells of the myeloid lineage, such as neutrophils and macrophages . It interacts with other components of the NADPH oxidase complex, including Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 1 (p47-phox) and Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 2 (p67-phox), to form a functional enzyme complex . Upon activation, this complex translocates to the membrane and interacts with flavocytochrome b, the catalytic core of the enzyme system, to produce superoxide anions .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the NCF4 gene can lead to chronic granulomatous disease, a condition characterized by the inability of phagocytes to produce reactive oxygen species, resulting in recurrent infections . Additionally, Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 4 has been implicated in various inflammatory diseases due to its role in the production of reactive oxygen species .

Research and Applications

Recombinant forms of Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 4 are used in research to study the function of the NADPH oxidase complex and its role in the immune response . These studies are crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying immune system disorders and for developing potential therapeutic interventions .
