PADI2 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

PADI2 / PAD2 is a member of the peptidyl arginine deiminase family of enzymes, which catalyze the post translational deimination of proteins by converting arginine residues into citrullines in the presence of calcium ions. Each family member has a distinct substrate specificity and tissue expression pattern. The type II enzyme is the most widely expressed family member. Known substrates for this enzyme include myelin basic protein in the central nervous system and vimentin in skeletal muscle and macrophages. This enzyme is thought to play a role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimers disease and multiple sclerosis, and it has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
