Product Specs

Introduction

SEMA3C, also called Semaphorin 3C, belongs to the semaphorin family 3, which comprises eight classes based on their structure and phylogenetic relationships. Class 3 semaphorins play a crucial role following central nervous system injuries. SEMA3C is found in scar tissue and influences the behavior of neurons and other cell types in the injured area. It is present in all motor neurons, developing cardiac neural crest cells, and lung buds. SEMA3C interacts with Plexin-D1 and either Neuropilin 1 or Neuropilin 2 coreceptors to exert its effects. While primarily known for its repulsive guidance cues, SEMA3C can also act as a chemoattractant by activating integrins in certain cells.

Description

Recombinant human SEMA3C, produced in HEK cells, is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain. It encompasses amino acids 21 to 738, resulting in a 951 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 107.2 kDa. The protein includes a 233 amino acid hIgG-Tag fused to its C-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods.

Physical Appearance

A clear, sterile-filtered solution.

Formulation

The SEMA3C solution has a concentration of 1 mg/ml and is prepared in a buffer containing 10% glycerol and Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4).

Stability

For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the solution should be kept at 4°C. Long-term storage requires freezing at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (HSA or BSA) at a concentration of 0.1% is recommended for extended storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.

Purity

The purity of the protein is determined to be greater than 90% using SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Composition

Semaphorin 3C is a highly modular protein consisting of several distinct domains:

  • Signal Sequence: A 20 amino acid (aa) sequence that directs the protein to be secreted out of the cell.
  • Sema Domain: An approximately 500 aa N-terminal domain that forms a beta-propeller structure, similar to that found in integrin molecules. This domain is crucial for the protein’s function in axon guidance.
  • Cysteine Knot: A structural motif that stabilizes the protein.
  • Furin-Type Cleavage Site: A site where the protein can be cleaved by specific enzymes.
  • Ig-Like Domain: An immunoglobulin-like domain that may play a role in protein-protein interactions.
  • C-Terminal Basic Domain: A domain rich in basic amino acids, which may be involved in binding to other molecules .
Function and Role in Development

Semaphorin 3C plays a critical role in the development of the nervous system and the vascular system. It functions as a chemorepellent, guiding axons and migrating cells to their correct locations. This guidance is essential for the proper formation of neural networks and blood vessels .

Role in Cancer

Recent research has shown that Semaphorin 3C may be upregulated in certain types of cancer. It has been implicated in the maintenance of cancer stem-like cells, promoting migration and invasion, and potentially facilitating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) in tumors . This makes it a potential target for cancer therapy.

Recombinant Human Semaphorin 3C

Recombinant human Semaphorin 3C is produced using a mouse myeloma cell line (NS0) and is available in a carrier-free form. It is typically used in research to study its function and role in various biological processes. The recombinant protein is highly pure (>95%) and has a predicted molecular mass of 107.7 kDa (monomer). It is often used in cell adhesion assays and other functional studies .

Applications
  • Cell Adhesion Studies: Recombinant Semaphorin 3C can be used to study cell adhesion, as it has been shown to support the adhesion of certain cell types to fibronectin.
  • Cancer Research: Given its role in cancer progression, Semaphorin 3C is a valuable tool for studying cancer biology and developing potential therapies.
  • Developmental Biology: Researchers use Semaphorin 3C to study its role in axon guidance and vascular development during embryogenesis .
