Description
Recombinant Human LIN28 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 191 amino acids (42-209) and having a molecular mass of 21.1 kDa. LIN28 is expressed with a 23 amino acid His tag fused at N-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
CSDD1, FLJ12457, LIN-28, LIN28A, Protein lin-28 homolog A, ZCCHC1, Zinc finger CCHC domain-containing protein 1, Lin-28A, LIN28.
Introduction
LIN28 plays an important role as a 'translational enhancer', leading specific mRNAs to polysomes and therefore increasing the competence of protein synthesis. LIN28 is a marker of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells and it enhances the efficiency of the formation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from human fibroblasts. LIN28 binds to the let-7 pre-miRNA and blocks production of the mature let-7 microRNA in mouse embryonic stem cells. Overexpression of LIN28 is associated with human germ-cell tumors.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The LIN28 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl, pH-8, 10% glycerol, 0.1mM PMSF and 0.1M NaCl.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 85.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE
