Introduction
Partitioning defective 6 homolog beta (PARD6B), a member of the PAR6 family, is a protein encoded by the PARD6B gene. This protein plays a critical role in establishing cellular asymmetry, a fundamental process in the development of multicellular organisms. PARD6B contains three key domains: a PSD95/Discs-large/ZO1 (PDZ) domain, an OPR domain, and a semi-Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain. It interacts with proteins like Cdc42 and Rac, which are involved in cell growth, polarity, and potentially, oncogenic transformation by Ras. PARD6B exhibits expression in various tissues, including the pancreas, adult and fetal kidneys, with weaker expression in the placenta and lungs.
Description
Recombinant human PARD6B, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. This protein consists of 395 amino acids, including a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus, and has a molecular weight of 43.6 kDa. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A sterile, colorless solution.
Formulation
The PARD6B solution is supplied at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 2M Urea, 20% glycerol, and 0.2M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the solution can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the PARD6B protein is determined to be greater than 85.0% using SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Partitioning defective 6 homolog beta, PAR-6 beta, PAR-6B, PARD6B, PAR6B.
