Lysate Details for Array

• Type: Overexpression

Notes

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.

Alternate Names for NRSF Overexpression Lysate

• Neural-restrictive silencer factor
• NRSFneuron restrictive silencer factor

• X2 box repressor
• XBRrepressor binding to the X2 box

Background

REST, which is short for RE1-silencing transcription factor, locks down neuronal genes in other cells by grabbing onto the DNA and cementing in other molecules, an arrangement that stays intact as non-neuronal cells differentiate into liver, muscle, and other tissues. REST uses a different temporary off mechanism to direct neuronal development. REST is a tumor suppressor gene in epithelial cells and has been found to be mutated in 33 percent of colorectal tumors and cell lines studied. Rest could eventually serve as a marker for diagnosing colorectal and other types of cancer.
