Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Human Protein FAM3B is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu30-Ser235 is expressed with a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. |
Accession | P58499 |
Synonym | C21orf11; Cytokine-like protein 2-21; D21M16SJHU19e; FAM3B; family with sequence similarity 3, member B; ORF9; pancreatic derived factor; Pancreatic-derived factor; PANDER; PRED44 |
Gene Background | FAM3B, also known as Pancreatic-derived factor (PANDER), is an islet-specific secreted cytokine specifically expressed at high levels in the islets of Langerhans of the endocrine pancreas. FAM3B can induce apoptosis of alpha and beta cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Previous studies showed that FAM3B regulates glucose and lipid metabolism through interaction with liver and endocrine pancreas. FAM3B silencing activates both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. In general, silencing FAM3B promoted p53 phosphorylation and induced p53 accumulation by decreasing Mdm2 expression, which resulted in apoptotic cell death. |
Molecular Mass | 50 KDa |
Apmol Mass | 50-65 KDa, reducing conditions |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. |
Endotoxin | Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test. |
Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified) |
Biological Activity | Not tested |
Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months. |
Shipping | The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below. |

- Data suggest that serum PANDER levels are significantly elevated in patients with long-standing type 2 diabetes as compared to patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and control subjects; serum PANDER levels vary according to degree of insulin resistance. PMID: 28161382
- Circulating level of pancreatic-derived factor (PANDER) in relation to the accumulation in metabolic syndrome suggested that persons with elevated levels of PANDER were associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome. PMID: 27181109
- in-vitro and in-vivo glucose is a potent stimulator of the PANDER promoter within the liver and this response may be facilitated by ChREBP. PMID: 26123584
- beta-cell-secreted PANDER regulated the hepatic insulin and lipogenenic signaling and impact overall glycemia. PMID: 24468680
- It is an important regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism and plays a role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.(review) PMID: 23855304

- PANDER is secreted from 2 types of pancreatic cells, glucose stimulates its secretion in beta cell and primary islets but not in alpha-cells, it is likely cosecreted with insulin, and structure and conformation is vital for PANDER secretion. PMID: 16249448
