R-spondin-1 (RSPO-1) is a natural enhancer of the canonical WNT pathway. When used together with WNT proteins that activate the
beta-catenin pathway, R-spondin-1 enhances the activity of canonical WNT proteins by binding to LGR5 and LGR4 (refs.)
Injection of recombinant RSpondin-1 into mouse causes activation of the βcatenin pathway and proliferation of intestinal crypt cells, which forms the basis for a clinical trial in amelioration of chemotherapy-induced colitis.
The Predicted MW of full-length R-Spondin-1 is 25.6 kDa, and due to glycosylation it runs on SDSPAGE at ~39 kDa under
reducing conditions. StemRD’s R-Spondin-1 is produced in human 293 cells as a secreted protein (without tag) and purified by a series of chromatography.
