Preparation and Storage

Background: Neudesin

Neudesin (Neuron-derived neurotrophic secreted protein; also CIR2 and SPUF) is a secreted, 20-21 kDa member of the MAPR (membrane-associated progesterone receptor) subfamily, cytochrome b5 family of molecules. It is expressed by CNS neuronal progenitors and neurons, plus preadipocytes in white adipose tissue. Regarding activity, it promotes neuronal differentiation with limited proliferation and serves as a neuron survival factor. By contrast, it inhibits both astrocyte and adipocyte differentiation. Mature human Neudesin is 141 amino acids (aa) in length (aa 32-172). It contains one cytochrome b5-like heme-binding domain (aa 44-129) and an acetylated lysine residue at Lys136. The heme-binding domain does bind heme, and this accounts for 5-6 kDa of its circulating molecular weight. The presence of a heme moiety is necessary for activity. Mature human Neudesin shares 97% aa identity with mature mouse Neudesin
