LIN28-TAT Human Recombinant Protein

Lin28 is a RNA-binding protein that belongs to a diverse family of structurally-related transcription factors. Lin28 is found abundantly in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and to a lesser extent in placenta and testis. Lin28 has been shown to block let-7 microRNA processing and maturation, a necessary step in the differentiation of stem cells and certain cancer cell lines. Together with Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog, Lin28 can induce the reprogramming of primary human fibroblasts to a pluripotent state. Lin28 and other regulatory proteins can be introduced into cells by DNA transfection, viral infection, or microinjection. Protein transduction using TAT fusion proteins represents an alternative methodology for introducing proteins into primary as well as transformed cells. Recombinant human Lin28-TAT is a 24.4 kDa protein containing 222 amino acid residues, including 13- residue C-terminal TAT peptide.

Small volumes of Lin28-TAT recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
