Recombinant Mouse Frizzled-8 Fc Chimera Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain
Endotoxin Level
<0.01 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured by its ability to inhibit Wnt-3a-induced alkaline phosphatase production by MC3T3‑E1 mouse preosteoblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is 15-75 ng/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL of Recombinant Mouse Wnt‑3a (Catalog # 1324-WN). Measured by its ability to bind biotinylated recombinant mouse Wnt-5a in a functional ELISA with an estimated Kd <1 nM.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: Frizzled-8

Frizzled-8 is one of at least ten seven-transmembrane (7TM) glycoproteins of the Frizzled family of Wnt receptors (1, 2). Frizzled proteins are thought to be G‑protein‑coupled (1). Wnt engagement, with low density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins LRP-5 or LRP‑6 acting as co‑receptors, stabilizes beta -catenin and promotes gene transcription that is important in development and tissue maintenance (1). Mouse Frizzled-8 cDNA encodes 685 amino acids (aa) including a 27 aa signal peptide, a 244 aa extracellular domain (ECD), the 7TM region (aa 272-603), and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain with a PDZ binding motif (aa 604-685) (2). The ECD includes a cysteine-rich region (CRD, aa 30-151) that binds Wnts and is highly conserved among Frizzleds, and a linker region. Within aa 25-173, mouse Frizzled-8 shares 99%, 99%, 90% and 85% aa identity with human, rat, Xenopus and zebrafish Frizzled-8, respectively. It also shares 82% aa identity with human Frizzled-5. Frizzleds can form homodimers or selective hetero-oligomers with other family members, which can involve the TM regions and possibly the CRD (1, 3). During mouse development, Frizzled-8 is expressed in tissues that are important for organizing the anterior-posterior axis (4). Interactions of Frizzled-8 with several non-Wnt ligands have been identified. Interaction with Frizzled-8 and LRP-6 allows R-spondins to activate beta -catenin signaling pathways, while interaction with IGFBP-4 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4) or CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) inhibits Wnt signaling (5‑7). These ligands bind the extracellular CRD of Frizzled-8, blocking Wnt binding. The recombinant Frizzled-8 CRD has also been used to block Wnt signaling and inhibit growth of teratocarcinomas (5‑10).
