Recombinant  Human R-Spondin-2
Catalog  Number:
120-43
Synonyms:
Roof  plate-specific, spondin-2, RSPO2
Description:
The  R-Spondin (Rspo) proteins belong to the Rspo family of Wnt modulators.  Currently, the family consists of four structurally related secreted ligands  (Rspo 1-4), all containing furin-like and thrombospondin structural domains. The  Rspo proteins can interact with the Frizzled/LRP6 receptor complex in a manner  that causes the stabilization and resulting accumulation of the intracellular  signaling protein, β-catenin. This activity effectively activates and increases  the subsequent nuclear signaling of β-catenin. R-Spondin can also bind to the  previously discovered G-protein coupled receptors, LGR-4 and LGR-5.  Rspo/β-catenin signaling can act as an inducer of the transformed phenotype, and  can also regulate the proliferation and differentiation of certain stem cell  populations.  Recombinant human R-Spondin-2 is a 24.4 kDa protein consisting of  212 amino acid residues.  Due to glycosylation, R-Spondin-2 migrates at an  apparent molecular weight of approximately 30.0 kDa by SDS PAGE analysis under  reducing conditions.
