Description

Recombinant Rat Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2m), partial | CSB-YP001004RA | Cusabio

Alternative Name(s): A2m; A2m1Alpha-2-macroglobulin; Alpha-2-M

Gene Names: A2m

Research Areas: Others

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)

AA Sequence: LIYDLLPVKDLTGFPQGADQREEDTNGCVKQNDTYINGILYSPVQNTNEEDMYGFLKDMGLKVFTNSNIRKPKVCERLRDNKGIPAAYHLVSQSHMDAFLESSESPTETRRSYFPETWIWDLVVVDSAGVA

Source: Yeast

Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-tagged

Expression Region: 620-750aa

Sequence Info: Partial

MW: 16.9 kDa

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

Relevance: Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme rains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced). Following cleavage in the bait region a thioester bond is hydrolyzed and mediates the covalent binding of the protein to the proteinase.

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: Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme remains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced). Following cleavage in the bait region a thioester bond is hydrolyzed and mediates the covalent binding of the protein to the proteinase.

Involvement in disease:

Subcellular Location: Secreted

Protein Families: Protease inhibitor I39 (alpha-2-macroglobulin) family

Tissue Specificity: Highest constitutive expression in ovary. Low level in testis, uterus and non-acute phase liver. Protein found in plasma.

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.
