Description
R-Spondin 1 (RSPO1, Roof plate-specific Spondin 1), also known as cysteine-rich and single thrombospondin domain containing protein 3, is a 27 kDa secreted protein that shares ~40% aa identity with three other R-Spondin family members . All R-Spondins regulate Wnt/ beta-Catenin signaling but have distinct expression patterns. In humans, rare disruptions of the R-Spondin 1 gene are associated with tendencies for XX sex reversal (phenotypic male) or hermaphroditism, indicating a role for R-Spondin 1 in gender- Injection of recombinant R-Spondin 1 in mice causes activation of beta-catenin and proliferation of intestinal crypt epithelial cells, and ameliorates experimental colitis. Interest in R-Spondin 1 as a cell culture supplement has grown with the expansion of the organoid field. R-Spondin 1 is widely used in organoid cell culture workflows as a vital component that promotes both growth and survival of 3D organoids .

Physical Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
|
Purity |
> 95% by SDS-PAGE. |
|
Biological Activity |
Measured by its ability to induce activation of ßcatenin response in a Topflash Luciferase assay using HEK293T human embryonic kidney cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 20-120 ng/mL in the presence of 5 ng/mL recombinant mouse wnt3a. |

Endotoxin |
< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
|
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
|
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
