S100Z cDNA

5q13.3

S100 calcium binding protein Z, also known as S100Z, is member of the S100 protein family. S100 proteins are small dimeric members of the EF-hand superfamily of Ca (2+) binding proteins thought to participate in mediating intracellular Ca (2+) signals by binding to and thereby regulating target proteins in a Ca (2+) -dependent manner. There are differences in the expression level of S100Z mRNA in various tissues. The highest levels were found in spleen and leukocytes. S100Z gene expression appears to be deregulated in some tumor tissues, compared to expression in their normal counterparts.

Signal Transduction

1. Centrifuge at 7000rpm for 1 minute.
2. Carefully open the vial and add 100ul of sterile water to dissolve the DNA.
Each tube contains approximately 10ug of lyophilized plasmid.

Store the plasmid at -20C.

This shuttle vector contains the complete ORF. It is inseted BamH I to Hind III. The gene insert contains multiple cloning sites which can be used to easily cut and transfer the gene and recombination site into your expression vector.
