With roles in immunological, neurological, and oncological diseases, Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily members, have emerged as drug targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and central nervous system (CNS) demyelination diseases. Eight death receptors have been identified and each regulates cell death in selected cell populations. TNFR21, also known as death receptor 6 (DR6), CD358, or BM-018 negatively regulates neuron, axon, and oligodendrocyte survival. It also hinders axon-dendrocyte and oligodendrocyte regeneration and its inhibition lead to neuroprotective effect in nerve injury. Mouse TNFRSF21/DR6 consists of a 308 amino acid extracellular domain (ECD) with four cysteine-rich motifs, a 21 amino acid transmembrane segment and a 285 amino acid palmityolated cytoplasmic region that contains one death domain. In the ECD domain of TNFRSF21/DR6 mouse and human share 82% amino acid sequence identity. In association with TNFRSF1A, TNFRSF21/DR6 activates nuclear factor kappa-B (NFk-B) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8, also called c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1) inducing cell apoptosis. TNFRSF21/DR6 plays a role in T-helper cell activation and may be involved in inflammation and immune regulation. Unnecessary or connectionless axons are removed when released alpha-amyloid precursor protein (APP) binds to TNFRSF21/DR6 in an autocrine/paracrine manner to activate a caspase-dependent self-destruction program. Increasing beta-catenin levels in brain endothelium upregulates TNFRSF21/DR6 and TNFRSF19, indicating that these death receptors are downstream target genes of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which has been shown to be required for blood-brain barrier development. TNFRSF21/DR6 is up-regulated in numerous solid tumors as well as in tumor vascular cells, including ovarian cancer and may be a clinically useful diagnostic and predictive serum biomarker for some adult sarcoma subtypes.

- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
