Product Specs

Introduction
Neuronal Regeneration Related Protein (NREP) is involved in neural function, specifically in promoting axonal regeneration. It also plays a role in cellular differentiation, including inducing fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts and enhancing retinoic-acid regulation of lipid-droplet biogenesis. NREP downregulates the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) and TGFB2, but not TGFB3. Additionally, it contributes to the regulation of alveolar generation.
Description
Recombinant human NREP, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 91 amino acids (residues 1-68) with a molecular weight of 10.3 kDa. It includes a 23 amino acid His-tag fused to the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A sterile, filtered solution that is colorless.
Formulation
The NREP solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, and 0.1 M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 85.0% using SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Biological Functions and Mechanisms

NREP is involved in several critical biological processes, including:

  • Axon Regeneration: NREP is predicted to be involved in the regeneration of axons, which are essential for the transmission of nerve impulses .
  • Neuron Differentiation: It plays a role in the differentiation of neurons, helping to form specialized nerve cells from precursor cells .
  • Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) Signaling Pathway: NREP is involved in the regulation of the TGF-β signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis .
Cellular Localization

NREP is active in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus of cells . This dual localization suggests that it may have multiple functions within the cell, potentially influencing various cellular processes.

Clinical Significance

NREP has been identified as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for certain cancers, such as gastric cancer. Its expression levels are typically upregulated in gastric cancer tissues compared to normal tissues . The protein promotes gastric cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis, making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions .

Research and Therapeutic Potential

Given its role in neural function and regeneration, NREP is a promising candidate for research into neurodegenerative diseases and neural injuries. Its ability to promote axonal regeneration and influence neuron differentiation makes it a potential therapeutic target for conditions such as spinal cord injuries and neurodegenerative disorders.
