Product Specs

Introduction
UNC-5 Netrin Receptor B, also known as UNC5B, belongs to the UNC5 receptor family, which comprises four related receptors. These receptors function as receptors for Netrin-1, a guidance cue molecule involved in axon guidance. UNC5B plays a crucial role in mediating Netrin-1-dependent inhibition of leukocyte migration, capillary branching, and osteoclast differentiation. Notably, UNC5B is involved in the activation of DAPK1, a protein kinase known to induce apoptosis. Moreover, UNC5B has been implicated in tumorigenesis, the development of atherosclerosis, and the survival of tubular epithelial cells following acute kidney injury.
Description
Recombinant UNC5B Rat, produced in HEK293 cells, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 590 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 27 to 373). It has a molecular mass of 66.0 kDa. The UNC5B protein is fused to a 243 amino acid hIgG-His-tag at its C-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile, colorless solution that has been filtered.
Formulation
UNC5B protein solution at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml in Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) with 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), store at 4°C. For longer periods, store frozen at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity is greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms

unc-5 netrin receptor B, Unc5h2, unc-5 homolog 2, Protein unc-5 homolog B, netrin receptor UNC5B precursor, netrin receptor UNC5B, protein unc-5 homolog 2, unc5b.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

UNC-5 Netrin Receptor B (UNC5B) is a protein that belongs to the UNC5 family, which includes four related receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in axon guidance by acting as receptors for the axon guidance molecule, Netrin-1 . UNC5B is particularly significant in various biological processes, including leukocyte migration, capillary branching, and osteoclast differentiation, all of which are mediated by Netrin-1 .

Molecular Characteristics

The recombinant rat UNC5B protein is produced in HEK293 cells and is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 590 amino acids (27-373 a.a) with a molecular mass of approximately 66.0 kDa . The protein is fused to a 243 amino acid hIgG-His-tag at the C-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques .

Biological Functions

UNC5B plays a vital role in several biological processes:

  • Axon Guidance: As a receptor for Netrin-1, UNC5B is involved in guiding axons to their correct destinations during neural development .
  • Leukocyte Migration: UNC5B inhibits leukocyte migration, which is essential for immune response regulation .
  • Capillary Branching: It promotes capillary branching, contributing to the formation of new blood vessels .
  • Osteoclast Differentiation: UNC5B is involved in the differentiation of osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for bone resorption .
Role in Disease

UNC5B is implicated in various pathological conditions:

  • Apoptosis: UNC5B is responsible for the activation of DAPK1, which can induce apoptosis .
  • Tumorigenesis: It plays a role in the development of tumors .
  • Atherosclerosis: UNC5B is involved in the development of atherosclerosis .
  • Kidney Injury: It contributes to the survival of tubular epithelial cells during acute kidney injury .
Stability and Storage

The recombinant UNC5B protein is stable for up to twelve months when stored at -20°C to -80°C under sterile conditions. It is recommended to aliquot the protein for optimal storage and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles .
