Introduction
DUSP3 belongs to the dual specificity protein phosphatase subfamily which inactivates their target kinases by dephosphorylating both the phosphoserine/threonine and phosphotyrosine residues. DUSP3 negatively regulate members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase superfamily that are related to cellular proliferation and differentiation. DUSP3 is expressed in both breast and ovarian tissues and displays activity both for tyrosine-protein phosphate and serine-protein phosphate, but exhibits a strong preference toward phosphotyrosines, specifically dephosphorylates and inactivates ERK1 and ERK2.
Description
DUSP3 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 205 amino acids (1-185) and having a molecular mass of 22.6 kDa.
DUSP3 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
E.coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The DUSP3 solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 2mM DTT and 10% glycerol.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
