Background
The Cereblon (CRBN) protein via its interaction with the DNA damage-binding protein-1 (DDB1), Cullin 4 (Cul4A or Cul4B), and regulator of Cullins 1 (RoC1) forms a functional E3 Ub ligase complex. In this complex, Cereblon functions as a substrate receptor that mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Like most E3 ligases, Cereblon complex ubiquitinates itself and its auto-ubiquitination promotes its ligase activity. Cereblon complex is involved in many biological processes including cell proliferation and apoptosis, and it has been extensively used in targeted protein degradation (PROTAC®), where CRBN binds to the protein of interest and leads to its degradation. This approach has shown promising results in the treatment of cancer.
Storage/Stability
At least 6 months at -80°C.
Assay Conditions
Assay was done according to Cereblon Binding Assay Kit (BPS Bioscience #79899) with various amounts of Cereblon.
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.
