Reconstitution
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.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, 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.
Lead Time
5-10 business days
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Description

Our Recombinant Human DEFB104A protein is an invaluable resource for researchers in the field of microbiology. This Beta-defensin 104, also known as DEFB104A, is expressed in E. coli, featuring the 23-72aa expression region of the full-length mature protein. The tag-free protein is supplied as a lyophilized powder, making it easy to reconstitute with sterile water or buffer for various experimental applications.

Quality and performance are our top priorities, and our Recombinant Human DEFB104A protein demonstrates a purity of >98% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis. In addition, endotoxin levels are maintained below 1.0 EU/µg, as assessed by the LAL method. The protein exhibits full biological activity in a chemotaxis bioassay using human monocytes, with an effective concentration range of 0.1-100.0 ng/ml.

As an antimicrobial peptide, DEFB104A has attracted significant attention in recent years. Studies by Weinberg et al. (2012)[1] and Prado-Montes de Oca (2011)[2] have highlighted its role in the innate immune response, while Cullen et al. (2021)[3] explored its antibacterial properties against a range of pathogens. These investigations underscore the importance of DEFB104A as a potential therapeutic target in combating infectious diseases.

Target Background

Function
Has antimicrobial activity. Synergistic effects with lysozyme and DEFB103.
Gene References into Functions
  1. Beta-defensin 104 displays antimicrobial activity against S. carnosus, E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and P. aeruginosa (strong). PMID: 11481241
  2. TFF3 activated the epithelial cells in culture to produce beta defensins 2 (hBD2) and beta defensins 4 PMID: 23198942
  3. Data suggest an activation of b-defensin-4 induction, in human knee meniscus by the osteoarthritis inflammatory process as a result of an endogenous antibiotic defense mechanism accompanied by an intrinsic effort of tissue remodeling. PMID: 21879330
  4. Our results suggest that copy number variation of DEFB4 may not contribute to the pathogenesis of Behcet's disease. PMID: 21385545
  5. Analysis of the DEFB4 promoter region shows remarkably high density of sequence variabilities. PMID: 20445567
  6. The variations in the genes encoding human beta-defensin-1 and -2 may be associated with the risk of severe acute pancreatitis. PMID: 20720450
  7. Data show that beta-defensin cluster (DEFB4, DEFB103 and DEFB104) varied between 2 and 9 copies per genome, and high copy numbers (>4) were underrepresented among patients, suggesting that increased copy numbers could protect from CD. PMID: 20483368
  8. We report here the application of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) fusion technology to the expression and purification of cationic antibacterial peptide hBD4. PMID: 20526896
  9. This study demonstrates, the involvement of NOD1 and DEFB4 in direct killing of Helicobacter pylori bacteria by epithelial cells and confirms the importance of NOD1 in host defence mechanisms against cagPAI(+)Helicobacter pylori infection. PMID: 20039881
  10. The mRNA level of the beta defensin 4 did not differ significantly between the two subgroups. PMID: 20128731
  11. elevated DEFB4 copy number is a risk factor for Crohn's disease PMID: 19809410
  12. There is an association of four common DEFB104 haplotypes with the risk of prostate cancer in two independent patient cohorts. PMID: 18515986
