Product Specs

Introduction
Nucleobindin-2, also called NUCB2 or Nesfatin, is a calcium-binding protein with an EF-hand motif. It plays a role in calcium regulation and exhibits diverse functions by interacting with calcium ions, nucleic acids, and various regulatory proteins within different signaling pathways. In mice, NUCB2 (Nesfatin) is found in neuronal cell bodies and dendrites throughout the brain.
Description
Recombinant Human NUCB2 (Nesfatin), produced in E. coli, is a 9.7 kDa protein comprising 82 amino acids of the human NUCB2 sequence.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
The NUCB2 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution at a concentration of 1mg/ml in 1x PBS, pH 7.4.
Solubility
To reconstitute lyophilized NUCB2, it is recommended to dissolve it in sterile 18M-cm H2O to a concentration of at least 100µg/ml. The solution can then be further diluted in other aqueous solutions as needed.
Stability
Lyophilized NUCB2 remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks; however, for extended storage, it should be stored in a dry environment below -18°C. After reconstitution, NUCB2 can be stored at 4°C for 2 to 7 days. For long-term storage, freezing below -18°C is recommended. It is advisable to add a carrier protein like 0.1% HSA or BSA for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity is determined to be greater than 95% using the following methods: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Synonyms
Nucleobindin-2, DNA-binding protein NEFA, Gastric cancer antigen Zg4, NUCB2, NEFA, Nesfatin.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

Nucleobindin-2 is a multi-domain protein consisting of:

  • A short signal peptide (SP)
  • A Leu/Ile-rich region
  • A DNA-binding domain (DBD)
  • Two EF-hand domains
  • A region rich in acidic amino acids
  • A leucine zipper motif (ZIP)

The amino acid sequence of NUCB2 is highly conserved across species .

Nesfatin-1

Nesfatin-1, derived from the N-terminal region of NUCB2, is a leptin-independent peptide hormone with strong anorexigenic properties. It plays a crucial role in regulating energy homeostasis, appetite, and body weight . Nesfatin-1 is produced in the hypothalamus and other brain regions, as well as in peripheral tissues .

Nesfatin-2 and Nesfatin-3

While nesfatin-1 has been extensively studied, the physiological functions of nesfatin-2 and nesfatin-3 remain poorly understood . These peptides are also products of NUCB2 proteolytic processing but have not been shown to exert significant biological effects.

Recombinant Human Nucleobindin-2

Recombinant human Nucleobindin-2 is produced using E. coli expression systems. It is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 82 amino acids corresponding to nesfatin-1/Nucleobindin-2 . The recombinant protein is fully biologically active and is used in various research applications to study its role in metabolism, appetite regulation, and other physiological processes .

Applications and Storage

Recombinant human Nucleobindin-2 is used in bioactivity assays, SDS-PAGE, and other biochemical analyses. It is typically lyophilized and stored at -20°C to -80°C for long-term stability . Upon reconstitution, it should be stored in aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles .
