• Relevance:

  RNA-binding protein that plays a role in the inhibition of multiple cellular antiviral responses activated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), such as inhibition of PKR activation, necroptosis, and IFN-mediated antiviral activities. Recognizes and binds Z-RNA structures via its Z-binding domain and dsRNA via its DRBM domain: RNA-binding activity is required to escape host ZBP1-dependent necroptosis. Mechanistically, the Z-binding domain binds Z-RNAs that are produced during vaccinia virus infection, thereby competing with Z-RNA detection by host ZBP1, suppressing ZBP1-dependent necroptosis. Acts as a key inhibitor of the interferon response by blocking the phosphorylation and subsequent activation of IRF3 and IRF7 kinases that are required for interferon-alpha gene expression. Inhibits NF-kappa-B activation and the ubiquitin-like protein ISG15, which is an early antiviral protein. The binding with host ISG15 subsequently blocks host ISGylation.

• Purity:

  Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  Not Test

• Length:

  Full Length

• Form:

  Liquid or Lyophilized powder

• Buffer:

  If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

• Reconstitution:

  We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

• Storage Conditions:

  The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.
