The exact function of RWDD4 is not fully understood, but proteins containing the RWD domain are generally involved in protein-protein interactions and may play roles in signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, and other critical cellular processes. The RWD domain itself is named after three proteins where it was first identified: RING finger-containing proteins, WD-repeat-containing proteins, and DEAD-like helicases.
Recombinant RWDD4 is used in various research applications, including:
Recombinant RWDD4 is produced using bacterial expression systems, such as E. coli. The protein is then purified using affinity chromatography techniques, which exploit the fusion tag added to the protein. The final product is typically supplied in a buffer solution containing Tris-HCl, NaCl, glycerol, and DTT to maintain stability and activity .
