Description
Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue StainingDescription:ROR1 (Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1), also known as neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor-related 1 (NTRKR1), is a member of the ROR family within the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) superfamily. Two ROR family members (ROR1 and ROR2) have been identified and are characterized by their intracellular tyrosine kinase domains, which are highly related to those of the Trk-family receptor tyrosine kinases, and by their extracellular Frizzled-like cysteine-rich domains and kringle domains, common to receptors of the Wnt family members. Human ROR1 is a type I transmembrane protein with 937 amino acids in length. It contains a 29 amino acid signal sequence, a 377 amino acid extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 amino acid transmembrane segment, and a 510 amino acid cytoplasmic region. Human ROR1 shares 97% and 58% amino acid sequence identity with mouse ROR1 and human ROR2, respectively. ROR1 has been shown to play crucial roles in developmental morphogenesis by acting as receptors or co-receptors to mediate Wnt5a-induced signaling. The bioactivity of ROR1 is measured by its ability to bind biotinylated recombinant mouse Wnt-5a in a functional ELISA
