Source: Yeast

Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-tagged

Expression Region: 33-173aa

Sequence Info: Full Length of Mature Protein

MW: 17.5 kDa

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Relevance: Final heterodimeric neurohormone released at the end of the molting cycle, involved in the sclerotization (tanning) of the insect cuticle, melanization and wing spreading. Heterodimer specifically activates the G protein-coupled receptor rk.

Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20?/-80?. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20?/-80?.

Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4? for up to one week.

Function: Final heterodimeric neurohormone released at the end of the molting cycle, involved in the sclerotization (tanning) of the insect cuticle, melanization and wing spreading. Heterodimer specifically activates the G protein-coupled receptor rk.

Involvement in disease:

Subcellular Location: Secreted

Protein Families:

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in one to two pairs of neurons in each of the thoracic and abdominal neuromeres of the larval CNS. Coexpressed with CCAP in most CCAP-specific neurons. Coexpressed with Pburs in four bilateral neurons in thoracic and abdominal neuromeres of the ventral nervous system.

Paythway:

Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20?/-80?. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
