Complex of recombinant full length human Cereblon, amino acids 1-442(end), and full length DDB1 (damage specific DNA binding protein 1), amino acids 1-1140(end). The cereblon construct includes an N-terminal FLAG-tag, while the DDB1 construct contains a C-terminal Strep-tag. The proteins were co-expressed and purified as a complex.

Background
Cereblon (CRBN) is the substrate-binding component of the E3 protein ligase complex DDB1-CUL4A-RBX1, which is involved in the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Binding of CRBN to a substrate engages its E3 ligase activity and results in the ubiquitination and ultimate degradation of the substrate. Many proteins are known targets of CRBN, including several transcription factors, growth factors and kinases. CRBN has become a target of choice for the development of many PROTACs of therapeutical interest.
Storage/Stability
At least 6 months at -80°C.
Instructions for Use
Thaw on ice and gently mix prior to use. DO NOT VORTEX. Perform a quick spin before opening. Aliquot into small volumes and flash freeze for long term storage. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
