Human TWEAKR Full-length Gene in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA
TWEAKR (TNFrelated weak inducer of apoptosis receptor) s a single-pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein in the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF12). TWEAKR was originally identified as a fibroblast growth factorinducible immediateearly response gene termed Fn14 in mouse fibroblast cells. Human and mouse TWEAKR share 82% amino acid sequence identity. TWEAKR is detected in almost all tissues examined. It is highly expressed in heart, placenta and kidney with intermediate expression in lung, skeletal muscle and pancreas. TWEAKR is the smallest member of the TNFRSF and contains only one cysteinerich region in its extracellular region that mediates the interaction with its ligand TWEAK. TWEAKR binds TWEAK with high affinity to initiate a signal transduction cascade in cell type dependent manner. The ligation leads to a variety of cellular responses including apoptosis, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. The cytoplasmic domain of TWEAKR contains one TRAF binding motif which bindsTRAF1, TRAF2, and TRAF3 to initiate signal transduction. TWAEKR is a weak inducer of apoptosis in some cell types. TWEAKR promotes angiogenesis and the proliferation of endothelial cells. It may also modulate cellular adhesion to matrix proteins. Elevated levels of TWEAKR were found in hepatocellular carcinoma specimens, in regenerating mouse liver and in injured rat arteries.
Gene Symbol: TWEAKR; TNFRSF12A; CD266; FN14; TWEAK-R
NCBI Gene ID: 51330
Uniprot Entry: Q9NP84
Construct Details: Full length human TWEAKR/CD266 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, 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.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, 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)

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’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-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.
