• Host: HEK293 Cells
• Form/Format: Modified RIPA Lysis Buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 1% Sodium deoxycholate, 1mM PMSF.; 1 X Sample Buffer (1 X modified RIPA buffer+1 X SDS loading buffer).

• Applicable Applications for BAMBI lysate: Western Blot (WB)
• Application Notes: Western blot (WB): Use at an assay dependent dilution.
• Species: Mouse
• Sequence Information: A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain of mouse BAMBI (Q9D0L6)(Met 1-Ala 152) was expressed, with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag.
• Preparation Method: Cell lysate was prepared by homogenization of the over-expressed cells in ice-cold modified RIPA Lysis Buffer with cocktail of protease inhibitors (Sigma). Cell debris was removed by centrifugation. Protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay (protein assay, Microplate Standard assay). The cell lysate was boiled for 5 min in 1 x SDS loading buffer (50mM Tris-HCl pH6.8, 12.5% glycerol, 1% sodium dodecylsulfate, 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing 5% b-mercaptoethanol, and lyophilized.
• Recommend Usage: 1. Centrifuge the tube for a few seconds and ensure the pellet at the bottom of the tube.; 2. Re-dissolve the pellet using 200uL pure water and boil for 2-5 min.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. After re-dissolution, aliquot and store at -80 degree C for up to twelve months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Description: This Mouse BAMBI overexpression lysate was created in HEK293 Cells and intented for use as a Western blot (WB) positive control. Purification of BAMBI protein from the overexpression lysate was verified.

Background: Human Cell lysate that Mouse BAMBI transfected/overexpressed for Western blot (WB) positive control. The whole cell lysate is provided in 1X Sample Buffer (1X modified RIPA buffer+1X SDS loading buffer).
BMP and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a pseudoreceptor of type 1 receptors. BAMBI structurally lacks intracellular serine/ threonine kinase domain but with an extracellular domain and a short cytoplasmic region that share sequence similarities with type 1 receptors, whose members have functions in signal transduction in various developing and pathological processes. BAMBI competes with the type 1 receptor, a receptor of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), through functioning as negative regulators of TGF-beta by limiting the signaling range of the TGF-beta family during early embryogenesis. The expression of BAMBI can be induced by accumulated beta-catenin and BMP. The expression level of BAMBI was found aberrantly elevated in most colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas relative to the corresponding non-cancerous tissues. It suggestes that beta-catenin and TGF-beta interfere growth arrest by inducing the expression of BAMBI, and this may contribute to colorectal and hepatocellular tumorigenesis.
