Human LYNX1 Gene, Full-length cDNA in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA

Description

LYNX1 (Ly-6/neurotoxin-like protein 1) is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked cell surface glycoprotein. A variety of GPI-linked surface glycoproteins are composed of one or more copies of a conserved domain of ~100 amino-acid residues termed u-PAR/Ly-6 motif that was originally found in u-PAR (Urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor) and Ly-6/CD59. The u-PAR/Ly-6 motif has 10 conserved cysteines with a defined disulfide-bonding pattern. LY6NX1 contains 1 copy of  u-PAR/Ly6 motifs in the extracellular domain (ECD).  There are 2 isoforms for LYNX1.  The isoform 1 is considered to be an endogenous "prototoxin", that shares a N-terminal three-finger structure with snake alpha-neurotoxins.  The isoform 2 is based on a naturally occurring readthrough transcript which produces a LYNX1-SLURP2 fusion protein.  LYNX1 is not a ligand or neurotransmitter but has the capacity to enhance nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) function in the presence of acetylcholine.  LYNX1 acts in different tissues through interaction to nAChRs and modulates functional properties of nAChRs to prevent excessive excitation, and hence neurodegeneration. LYNX1 may also play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris.  

 

 

Gene Symbol: LYNX1; LYNX1-SLURP2; Li-112

 

NCBI Gene ID: 66004

 

Uniprot Entry: P0DP58

 

Construct Details: Full length human LYNX1 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a 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: 351 (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.
