Recombinant Human ARTN Protein

• Cat.No.: ARTN-703H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human ARTN Protein is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 113 amino acids without tag purified from serum-free CHO growth media by ion-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration. Protein is sterile-filtered through 0.22 µm filter.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: CHO
• Description: This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) subfamily and TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein signals through the RET receptor and GFR alpha 3 coreceptor, and supports the survival of a number of peripheral neuron populations and at least one population of dopaminergic CNS neurons. This protein has also been shown to promote tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance in mammary carcinoma.
