Takara Lenti-X ProteoTuner Shield System C \Each

Takara The Lenti-X ProteoTuner Shield System C provides a unique method for quickly and directly regulating the amount of your protein of interest present in a cell, and combines it with versatile lentiviral delivery. The system utilizes a ligand-dependent destabilization domain (DD-C) and a membrane-permeant stabilizing ligand, Shield1, to quickly and directly regulate the amount of your protein of interest present in a cell or organism. First, your gene of interest is cloned into the pLVX-PTunerC Vector, and expressed as a fusion with the destabilization domain (DD-C). Then the Shield1 ligand is either added or withheld, depending on your experiment.In the presence of Shield1, the DD-C-tagged protein is stabilized and accumulates inside the cell. This ligand-dependent stabilization occurs very quickly, and has been observed as soon as 15-30 minutes after the addition of Shield1. In the absence of Shield1, the DD-C-tagged protein of interest is unstable. Consequently, removal of Shield1 allows for active and controllable degradation of the protein of interest. The extent of stabilization via Shield1 can be adjusted, and directly correlates with the amount of the ligand in the medium. Therefore, you can tune the level of your protein of interest present in the cell, by controlling the amount of the Shield1 ligand. - TAKBGN (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
