Synonym | FBP, Folate Binding Protein, FOLR |
Background | The protein encoded by FOLR1 gene is a member of the folate receptor family. Members of this gene family bind folic acid and its reduced derivatives, and transport 5-methyltetrahydrofolate into cells. This gene product is a secreted protein that either anchors to membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linkage or exists in a soluble form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency. Due to the presence of two promoters, multiple transcription start sites, and alternative splicing, multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.Folate receptor alpha (FRalpha) is the most important subunit of Folate receptor and the alpha isoform has been shown to be selectively overexpressed in cancer types like breast and ovarian cancer compared to normal breast and ovarian epithelial cells. It was determined that Folate receptor alpha exhibits a limited expression on the apical surfaces of the epithelial cells of normal lung, breast, thyroid, parathyroid, and kidney tissues. For their uptake of folate, normal cells rely almost exclusively on the reduced folate carrier, whereas many carcinomas and myeloid leukemia cells overexpress a high-affinity FR on their surfaces, perhaps reflecting their increased need for folate to support rapid cell divisionImmune CheckpointImmunotherapyCancer ImmunotherapyTargeted Therapy |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the human FOLR1 (NP_057937.1) (Met 1-Met 233) without the pro peptide was expressed, with a His tag at the C-terminus. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Arg 25 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Met 233 |
Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant human FOLR1 consists of 220 a.a. and has a predicted molecular mass of 26 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 37 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation. |
Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Please contact us for detailed information |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability | The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
