Depositor Comments

This plasmid has three copies of the NF-AT site cloned upstream of the minimal IL-2 promoter from -89 to +51.

The plasmid can be used to assay signal transduction through Ca2+, calcineurin and NFAT in any tissue including lymphocytes, neurons, osteoblasts, skin, endothelium, skeletal and heart muscle (Shaw et al Science 1988; Crabtree and Schreiber Cell 138,210, 2009).

Based on Addgene's full plasmid sequence, the NFAT binding sequence appears to be ACGCCTTCTGTATGAAACAGTTTTTCCTCC.

Purpose

Ready-to-use, high-purity DNA prep. DNA aliquots are suitable for use in mammalian cell transfections and other molecular biology applications.

Delivery

  • Amount 50 μg
  • Concentration 1 μg/μL
  • Pricing $495 USD
  • Storage 4 ℃ (short-term) or -20 ℃ (long-term)

Terms and Licenses

Quality Control

Every DNA prep is verified by next-generation sequencing, confirming plasmid identity, sequence integrity, and absence of DNA contaminants. Concentration is confirmed to be within ±2.5% of the stated concentration.

Our production process has been validated to consistently yield endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg. Individual lots are not tested for endotoxin.
