ROBLD3 is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 149 amino acids, with a molecular mass of approximately 16 kDa . The recombinant human ROBLD3 protein is typically expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and purified using conventional chromatography techniques . The protein often includes an N-terminal His-tag to facilitate purification and detection .
ROBLD3 functions as an adapter protein that enhances the efficiency of the MAP kinase cascade. It facilitates the activation of MAPK2 by recruiting MP1 to late endosomes, where they form a stable heterodimeric complex required for ERK activation on endosomes . This interaction is essential for the proper functioning of the MAPK pathway, which is involved in various cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and response to external stimuli.
Recombinant human ROBLD3 protein is used in various research applications, including studies on cellular signaling pathways, protein-protein interactions, and the development of therapeutic interventions for diseases related to MAPK pathway dysregulation . The protein’s high purity and stability make it a valuable tool for biochemical and structural studies.
