Description

SLURP1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated homodimer (Leu23-leu103) containing 2x89 amino acids including an 8 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass for each chain is 9.9kDa.

Product Specs

Introduction
As a member of the Ly6/uPAR family, Secreted LY6/PLAUR Domain Containing 1 (SLURP1) is unique due to its lack of a GPI-anchoring signal sequence. It is believed to possess antitumor activity and serves as a marker for late skin differentiation. Furthermore, SLURP1 plays a vital role in preserving the physiological and structural integrity of the skin's keratinocyte layers. Genetically, the SLURP1 gene shares its chromosomal region with several members of the Ly6/uPAR family of glycoprotein receptors. Notably, mutations in the SLURP1 gene have been linked to Mal de Meleda, a rare autosomal recessive skin disorder.
Description
Recombinant Human SLURP1, produced in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated homodimer with a structure encompassing residues Leu23 to Leu103. Each chain consists of 2x89 amino acids, including an 8 amino acid His tag located at the N-terminus. The calculated molecular mass for each chain is 9.9kDa.
Physical Appearance
White powder, lyophilized and filtered.
Formulation
The SLURP1 protein solution, at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml in 20mM Tris buffer with 50mM NaCl at pH 8.0, undergoes a 0.4μm filtration process before being lyophilized.
Solubility
To generate a working stock solution, it is advised to add deionized water to the lyophilized pellet, aiming for a concentration of approximately 0.5mg/ml. Allow sufficient time for the pellet to fully dissolve. Note that SLURP1 is not sterile. Prior to using in cell culture, ensure the product is filtered through a sterile filter with an appropriate pore size.
Stability
For long-term storage, keep the lyophilized protein at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot the product to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. Reconstituted protein remains stable at 4°C for a limited period, showing no significant changes for up to two weeks.
Purity
The purity of SLURP1 is greater than 95.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

The Secreted LY6/PLAUR Domain Containing 1 Dimer, also known as SLURP1, is a protein encoded by the SLURP1 gene. This protein is a member of the Ly6/uPAR family, which is characterized by a distinct disulfide bridge pattern that creates the three-finger Ly6/uPAR (LU) domain . The SLURP1 protein is secreted and lacks a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchoring signal sequence .

Structure and Function

SLURP1 is known for its antitumor activity and is implicated in maintaining the physiological and structural integrity of the keratinocyte layers of the skin . It down-regulates keratinocyte proliferation in vitro and may act as a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) activity . Additionally, SLURP1 inhibits alpha-7-dependent nAChR currents in an allosteric manner . In T cells, it may be involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium signaling . The protein also seems to have an immunomodulatory function in the cornea .

Genetic and Evolutionary Aspects

The SLURP1 gene is located in a chromosomal region that includes several members of the Ly6/uPAR family of glycoprotein receptors . The genes encoding Ly6/uPAR family proteins are conserved across different species and are clustered in syntenic regions on human chromosomes 8, 19, 6, and 11 . The Ly6/uPAR family proteins share a common structure but have varying expression patterns and functions .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the SLURP1 gene have been associated with Mal de Meleda, a rare autosomal recessive skin disorder . This disorder is characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma, which involves thickening of the skin on the palms and soles . The SLURP1 protein’s role in maintaining skin integrity highlights its importance in dermatological health.

Research and Applications

Research on SLURP1 has revealed its potential as a marker of late differentiation of the skin . Its antitumor properties and involvement in modulating nAChRs make it a significant target for further studies in cancer research and neurobiology . The recombinant form of SLURP1 is used in various experimental setups to study its functions and potential therapeutic applications.
