Description

FOLR1 (folate receptor alpha), also known as FBP, FOLR, NCFTD, FRalpha, is a glycoprotein that either anchors to membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage or exists in a soluble form.  FOLR1 belongs to the the folate receptor (FR) family that exist in a cluster on chromosome 11.   Members of this family bind folic acid and its reduced derivatives, and transport 5-methyltetrahydrofolate into cells. FOLR1 has high affinity for folate and folic acid analogs at neutral pH.  Exposure to slightly acidic pH after receptor endocytosis triggers a conformation change that strongly reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their release.  FOLR1 is primarily expressed in tissues of epithelial origin and its expression is increased in malignant tissues. FOLR1 is required for normal embryonic development and cell proliferation.  Mutations in the FOLR1 gene have been associated with neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency.

 


 

Gene Symbol: FOLR1; FBP; FOLR; NCFTD; FRalpha

 

NCBI Gene ID: 2348

 

Uniprot Entry: P15328

 

Construct Details: Full length human FOLR1 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 774 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
