Name : Human GEP Protein
Product Source :
Recombinant Human GEP Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Thr18-Leu593.[Accession | P28799-1]
Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 62.9 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 75-82 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per ug by the LAL method.
Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC
Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human GEP on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human GEP is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.
Background :
Haploinsufficiency of progranulin (PGRN) is a leading cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Loss of PGRN leads to lysosome dysfunction during aging. TMEM106B, a gene encoding a lysosomal membrane protein, is the main risk factor for FTLD with PGRN haploinsufficiency.Loss of both PGRN and TMEM106B results in an increased accumulation of lysosomal vacuoles in the axon initial segment of motor neurons and enhances the manifestation of FTLD phenotypes with a much earlier onset.
Synonyms :
Progranulin; PGRN; Acrogranin; GP88; Glycoprotein 88; PCDGF; PEPI; CLN11; GEP; Granulin; GRN
