Programmed Cell Death 4 Human Recombinant ( PDCD4 Human )

PDCD4 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 469 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 51 kDa.

Greater than 90.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

PDCD4 is restricted to the nucleus in proliferating cells. Expression of PDCD4 is modulated by cytokines in natural killer and T cells. PDCD4 takes part in apoptosis. PDCD4 is a translation inhibitor targeted for degradation during tumor promotion. PDCD4 promotes colonic neoplastic transformation and tumor invasion. PDCD4 is an important target for microrna R-21 in breast cancer cells. Shortage of PDCD4 expression is associated with colorectal cancer. PDCD4 is swiftly phosphorylated by S6K1 kinase protein & afterwords degraded by ubiquitin ligase SCF in response to mitogens. PDCD4 in response to mitogens allows competent protein synthesis & cell growth. PDCD4 is a proapoptotic protein involved in TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis in human HCC cells, and a tumor suppressor in hepatocarcinogenesis. PDCD4 restraines tumor progression in colon carcinoma cells by the novel mechanism of down-regulating MAP4K1 transcription, with consequent inhibition of c-Jun activation and AP-1-dependent transcription. Overexpression of PDCD4 in carcinoid cells results in inhibition of cell proliferation.
