Description: The IL-2 receptor system consists of three non-covalently linked subunits termed IL-2Ralpha, IL-2Rbeta, and IL-2Rgamma. The IL-2Ralpha is a type I transmembrane protein consisting of a 219 amino acid extracellular domain, a 19 amino acid transmembrane domain and a 13 amino acid intracellular domain, which is not involved in the transduction of IL-2 signals. Proteolytic processing of IL-2Ralpha releases the entire extracellular domain of IL-2Ralpha, thereby generating a 219 amino acid soluble protein called soluble IL-2Ralpha (sIL-2Ralpha). The homodimeric form binds IL-2 (KD=10mM) and facilitates IL-2 signaling. The secreted sIL-2Ralpha is expressed on leukemia cells, lymphoma cells, and newly activated T and B cells, as well as on approximately 10% of NK cells. Recombinant Human sIL-2 Receptor alpha is a 24.8 kDa protein containing 219 amino acid residues consisting of only the extracellular domain of IL-2Ralpha. As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant Human sIL-2 Receptor alpha migrates with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 40-50 kDa by SDS-PAGE gel, under reducing and non-reducing conditions.

Description: The gAcrp30 variant is a naturally occurring globular protein obtained by proteolytic processing of adiponectin. Adiponectin is produced and secreted exclusively by adipocytes, and is a relatively abundant plasma protein, accounting for up to 0.05% of total serum protein. Like Adiponectin, Acrp30 is capable of decreasing hyperglycemia and reversing insulin resistance. Additionally, gAcrp30 has been shown to be an important factor in promoting fat loss by signaling muscle to absorb and burn Free-Fatty Acids (FFAs). The signaling receptors for adiponectin and gAcrp30 have recently been identified and named AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. AdipoR2 is predominantly expressed in the liver. This naturally occurring variant of Human gAcrp30/Adipolean is an 18.1 kDa protein, containing 14 extra amino acids extra at the N-terminus of human gAcrp30/Adipolean.

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.
