Introduction
PDCD5 is expressed in tumor cells during apoptosis regardless of the stimuli that initiated the process. Before apoptosis induction, PDCD5 is found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Once apoptosis begins, PDCD5 levels increase, and the protein relocates from the cytoplasm, accumulating in the nucleus. PDCD5 protein has a stable helical core structure consisting of a triple-helix bundle and two separate terminal regions. PDCD5 is a significant novel protein that regulates both apoptotic and non-apoptotic programmed cell death. It plays a role in the process of apoptosis and is important in regulating apoptotic processes in gastric cancer cells and gastric tumors. Additionally, PDCD5 is involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. The -27G/-11A SNP is associated with reduced PDCD5 promoter activity and increased susceptibility to chronic myelogenous leukemia. The PDCD5 gene may be a target gene controlled by important apoptosis-related transcriptional factors during cell apoptosis.
Description
Recombinant PDCD5, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 125 amino acids. It has a molecular weight of 14 kDa.
Physical Appearance
Sterile, colorless solution.
Formulation
PDCD5 protein solution is supplied in 1x PBS at pH 7.4.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), store the solution at 4°C. For long-term storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity is greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Programmed cell death protein 5, TF-1 cell apoptosis-related protein 19, Protein TFAR19, PDCD5, TFAR19, MGC9294.
