Source: E.coli

Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged

Expression Region: 213-547aa

Sequence Info: Partial

MW: 55.2 kDa

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

Relevance: Required for the cytoplasmic dynein-driven retrograde movement of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Dynein-dynactin interaction is a key component of the mechanism of axonal transport of vesicles and organelles.

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: Plays a key role in dynein-mediated retrograde transport of vesicles and organelles along microtubules by recruiting and tethering dynein to microtubules. Binds to both dynein and microtubules providing a link between specific cargos, microtubules and dynein. Essential for targeting dynein to microtubule plus ends, recruiting dynein to membranous cargos and enhancing dynein processivity (the ability to move along a microtubule for a long distance without falling off the track). Can also act as a brake to slow the dynein motor during motility along the microtubule

Involvement in disease: Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, 7B (HMN7B); Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); Perry syndrome (PERRYS)

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm, Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole, Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle, Nucleus envelope, Cytoplasm, cell cortex

Protein Families: Dynactin 150 kDa subunit family

Tissue Specificity: Brain.

Paythway: SecretedExtracellularVesicles

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.
