PEA-15 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.This product is manufactured by and sold under license from OriGene Technologies and its use is limited solely for research purposes.

PEA-15 (phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes) exists in an non-phosphorylated form (N), and two phosphorylated forms, Pa and Pb. PEA-15 is an endogenous substrate for PKC, which mediates the transition from Pa to Pb. The level of PEA-15 phosphorylation changes upon depolymerization or stabilization of tubulins, indicating that PEA-15 co-localizes with microtubules. The first 80 amino acids of PEA-15 correspond to the death effector domain (DED), which is a domain found in proteins that regulate apoptotic signaling pathways. The DED domain is necessary for PEA-15 to block Ras suppression. Although PEA-15 is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, low levels of PEA-15 are expressed in liver and kidney, and higher levels in muscle. PEA-15 is also referred to as PED, phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes, for its elevated expression in type 2 diabetic patients.
