We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein indeionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.Aliquot for long-term storage at -80°C. Solubilize for 60 minutes at room temperature with occasional gentle mixing. Avoid vigorous shaking or vortexing.
Tag
N-terminal Myc-tagged and C-terminal Flag-tagged (This tag can be tested only under denaturing conditions)
Molecular Weight
80.3 kDa
Relevance
Required for male fertility. Plays a role in pollen tube guidance and successful gamete attachment. Essential for the fusion of gametes during double fertilization, where one male gamete fuses with the egg to produce a zygote, and another male gamete fuses with the central cell to produce the endosperm. Mediates the fusion of cell membranes. Not required for pollen tube outgrowth.
Source
Mammalian cell
Form
Lyophilized powder
Notes
The VLPs are expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293).Mix the sample gently by repeatedly pipetting it up and down. Do not vortex.Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended.Store the protein at -20°C/-80°C upon receiving it, and ensure to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, otherwise, it will affect the protein activity. The immunization strategy should be optimized (antigen dose, regimen and adjuvant).
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um sterile filtered PBS, 6% Trehalose, pH 7.4.
Purity
The purity information is not available for VLPs proteins.
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°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
