Testing Data (Chemotaxis effect of Progranulin in THP-1 Cells: Cell migration of THP-1 monocytic leukemia cells was evaluated in disposable 24 well transwell polystyrene membrane with 8?m size pores. 0ng/ml, 10ng/ml, 100ng/ml and 250ng/ml of Progranulin were diluted in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 0.5% FBS respectively. In case boiled hProgranulin, proteins were boiled at 100°C for 10min. And then hProgranulin samples were added to the lower chamber. THP-1 cells (2 X 105 cells per well), in the same media with Progranulin, were added to the upper chamber. After 16 hours incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere, migration cells in the lower chamber were counted. Migrated cells in two separate fields per well from triplicate wells were enumerated on a hemacytometer by means light microscopy.)

Related Product Information for GRN active protein
Description: Progranulin (PGRN) is a widely expressed pluripotent growth factor which plays a role in processes such as development, wound repair and inflammation by activating signaling cascades that control cell cycle progression and cell motility. Its function in the central nervous system is of interest, as mutations in the PGRN gene were found in cases of frontotemporal degeneration (FTLD). In addition, PGRN has also been linked to tumorigenesis. Progranulin is a biomarker for FTLD, other types of Alzheimer‘s Disease (AD) and potentially for MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment). Additionally, PGRN is described as a new ligand of TNF receptors and a potential therapeutic against inflammatory disease like arthritis.

NCBI Description

Granulins are a family of secreted, glycosylated peptides that are cleaved from a single precursor protein with 7.5 repeats of a highly conserved 12-cysteine granulin/epithelin motif. The 88 kDa precursor protein, progranulin, is also called proepithelin and PC cell-derived growth factor. Cleavage of the signal peptide produces mature granulin which can be further cleaved into a variety of active, 6 kDa peptides. These smaller cleavage products are named granulin A, granulin B, granulin C, etc. Epithelins 1 and 2 are synonymous with granulins A and B, respectively. Both the peptides and intact granulin protein regulate cell growth. However, different members of the granulin protein family may act as inhibitors, stimulators, or have dual actions on cell growth. Granulin family members are important in normal development, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

GRN: Granulins have possible cytokine-like activity. They may play a role in inflammation, wound repair, and tissue remodeling. Defects in GRN are the cause of ubiquitin-positive frontotemporal dementia (UP-FTD); also known as tau- negative frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 17. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of dementia in people under the age of 65 years. It is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease. Defects in GRN are the cause of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 11 (CLN11). A form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis characterized by rapidly progressive visual loss due to retinal dystrophy, seizures, cerebellar ataxia, and cerebellar atrophy. Cognitive decline may also occur. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are progressive neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage diseases characterized by intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent liposomal material. Belongs to the granulin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes

The GRN grn (Catalog #AAA844325) is an Active Protein produced from HEK 293 cells (aa 1-593) and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Progranulin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, SDS-PAGE; HPLC. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GRN grn for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Signal peptide and human progranuli n (aa 1-593) are fused at the C-terminus to a FLAG®-tag. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Progranulin, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
