Recombinant HIV 1 Envelope Glycoprotein Gp120 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Glu498 is expressed with a 8His tag at the C-terminus.
Alternative Names
Envelope glycoprotein gp120; Glycoprotein 120; Surface protein gp120
Background
Envelope glycoprotein gp160 is single-pass type I membrane protein. The mature envelope protein (Env) consists of a homotrimer of non-covalently associated gp120-gp41 heterodimers. It is cleaved into the following 2 chains: glycoprotein 120 and transmembrane protein gp41. The resulting complex protrudes from the virus surface as a spike. The 17 amino acids long immunosuppressive region is present in many retroviral envelope proteins. Synthetic peptides derived from this relatively conserved sequence inhibit immune function in vitro and in vivo.
Molecular Weight
57 KDa
Accession Number
Q9DKG6
Endotoxin Level
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 EU/ug) as determined by LAL test.
Notes
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
Purity
Greater than 95%
Storage
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
