Missouri S&T cDNA Resource Center
A non-profit service providing full-length cDNA clones encoding human signal transduction proteins to the research community. The distribution fee reflects our direct costs for producing, verifying, and distributing these clones.
The Center provides clones of human proteins that are:
- Full-length
- Sequence verified
- Expression verified in most cases by coupled in vitro transcription/ translation assays
- Propagated in versatile vectors (primarily the mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1+, Invitrogen)
- Free of extraneous 3' and 5' untranslated regions
- Available in wild-type, epitope-tagged and useful mutant forms (e.g., constitutively-active, dominant negative, PTX-resistant
- Shipped by courier delivery (Federal Express), most within a day of placing your order
- Guaranteed for 6 months from original date of purchase

Nine New Clones Added to Collection
A collection of 9 new clones were made available for sale as of Oct. 15th, 2008. Those
clones include catalog numbers:
ARRB100000, GPR0150000, GPR0390000, GPR0550000, GPR0630000
GPR0840000, GRM4000000, P2RY900000, and P2RY90TN00
These clones represent the last Arrestin in the family, another Metabotropic Glutamate
Receptor, and another Purinergic / Lysophosphatidic Acid receptor and its tagged
variant.
Check them out for more information and complete documentation.
Online Catalog Updated and Available as PDF
The cDNA Resource Center catalog has been updated current as of September 2008 and is
available for download via the "Download Catalog" link in the toolbar at the top of the
screen.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view the PDF file and can is available free of charge
from the Adobe Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Rate Change for International Shipping via FedEx
We have been trying to delay it as long as possible but the increasing cost of shipping across
the board has finally hit the cDNA Resource Center.
International customers placing orders after 2:00pm US-CST on Sept 9th, 2008 will be charged the
new base rate of $40 USD per order.
We would like to apologize for this increased cost. We are making every attempt to keep our rates/costs
as low as possible to better serve the scientific community at large by continuing to provide high quality
sequence verified constructs.
Phasing in a New Packaging Method
We are happy to announce that we will be phasing in a new packaging method for our blots.
As of April 8, 2008 all clones developed for distribution will be blotted as dried DNA in a 0.5ml
screw-cap micro-centrifuge tube. These blots will be from the same stocks and the same relative
amount (~ 1000ng) dried on the side of the tube and then individually labeled.
Instructions for resuspending this new method of packaging are available on our FAQ page and
on the FAQ provided within each shipping envelope.
Name Change Effective January 1st, 2008
The UMR cDNA Resource Center is changing its name to reflect the name change occurring
at the University of Missouri Rolla. Effective January 1st, 2008 the official institution name will
now be Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T).
Please make note of the name change and inform your billing/purchasing departments as it may
change generation of purchase order numbers (PO#) as well as invoicing.
We would like to thank you for you attention to this matter, and apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause during this time of transition.
