Recombinant D. melanogaster Protein folded gastrulation(fog), partial

Drosophila melanogaster

fog

fog; CG9559 [Cleaved into: Protein folded gastrulation; G protein-coupled receptor ligand]

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.

Coordinates cell shape changes during formation of the ventral furrow and invagination of the posterior midgut primordium, by inducing apical constriction of cells in spatially and temporally defined manners. Could function as a secreted signal to initiate apical constriction by acting as a ligand for an unidentified G protein-coupled receptor, which in turn activates the G protein alpha subunit encoded by concertina, in neighboring cells. Such an intracellular pathway would ultimately induce contraction of the apical actin-myosin network. In the ventral furrow, fog appears to ensure that all the cells initiate constriction within several minutes of each other. In the posterior midgut invagination, fog appears to direct the ordered progression of constriction initiations out from a central region and also to delimit the peripheral extent of this spreading.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Delivery time may differ from different purchasing ways or locations, please kindly consult us for specific delivery times.

Store at -20 °C/-80 °C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for multiple use.

The shelf life is related to many factors, including storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature, and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C.

Repeated freezing and thawing are not recommended.

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week.
