Gene Information

General description

TWEAKR belongs to the TNFR superfamily of transmembrane proteins and contains a cytoplasmic "death domain," which can activated the cell′s apoptotic machinery. It is expressed in the spleen, thymus, peripheral blood lymphocytes, colon, and small intestine. Signal transduction by TWEAKR can be activated by either the membrane anchored or the soluble TWEAK. Recombinant soluble TWEAKR is a 53 amino acid polypeptide (5.6 kDa) comprising the entire extracellular domain of the full length TWEAKR protein

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5 + 50 mM NaCl.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
