Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

Beta TRCP also known as B-TRCP Beta-TRCP or BTRC is an E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit. It has a mass of about 63 kDa and shows expression in various human tissues such as the liver brain and muscle. The BTRC domain in beta TRCP recognizes specific phosphodegron sequences in target proteins tagging them for ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. This process helps regulate the turnover of proteins important for cell cycle progression and signal transduction.
Biological function summary
Beta TRCP participates in essential functions by being a component of the SCF (Skp1-Cullin-F-box) complex which facilitates the ubiquitination of its substrates. SCF complexes regulate various cellular processes by targeting proteins that need timely degradation. As a part of the complex beta TRCP controls the stability of pivotal substrates ensuring proper regulation of biological events like DNA replication and repair.
Pathways
Beta TRCP plays critical roles in the Wnt and NF-kB signaling pathways. These pathways depend on the precise regulation of protein levels allowing for proper cellular responses. Beta TRCP interacts with key proteins such as IkB in the NF-kB pathway and beta-catenin in the Wnt pathway controlling their ubiquitination and stability. The degradation of these proteins is necessary for pathway activation or repression influencing cell proliferation and survival decisions.
Beta TRCP has associations with cancer and inflammatory diseases. Abnormal beta TRCP function can lead to dysregulation of the NF-kB and Wnt pathways contributing to tumorigenesis and chronic inflammation. In cancers for example its relationship with proteins like beta-catenin influences tumor growth due to improper degradation. In inflammatory diseases disrupted interaction with IkB leads to excessive activation of NF-kB promoting inflammatory responses. Understanding these interactions can provide insights into therapeutic strategies.
