DDIT4, also known as Dig2 or REDD1, is thought to have function in the regulation of reactive oxygen species. In response to stress due to DNA damage and glucocorticoid treatment, DDIT4 is upregulated at the transcriptional level. DDIT4 negatively regulates the mammalian target of Rapamycin, a serine/threonine kinase often referred to as mTOR. It is crucial in the coupling of extra- and intracellular cues to mTOR regulation. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-232 from human DDIT4, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
