Plakophilin 4 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.

Plakophilin 4, also known by its gene name PKP4, has multiple transcript variants, however only two have been fully characterized. Isoform 1 has 1,192 amino acids and is approximately 132 kDa and the shorter 1,149 amino acid long isoform is approximately 127 kDa. Plakophilin 4 is a member of the Beta Catenin family and the Plakophilin subfamily of Armadillo-like proteins. Plakophilin 4 regulates Rho activity during cytokinesis and may be implicated in the regulation of junctional plaques. Current research on Plakophilin 4 is being performed relating to several diseases and disorders including Alzheimer's Disease, schizophrenia, renal cell carcinoma and cardiomyopathy. PKP4 interacts with Presenilin 1, Erbin, OSGEP, Desmoplakin and GABARAP.
