Name : Rat PAI-1 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Rat PAI-1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-terminus. It contains Ser24-Pro402.[Accession | P20961]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 43.73 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 48-60 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM HEPES, 300 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP (pH 7.5). Normally 8% mannitol 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 Rat PAI-1 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Rat PAI-1 is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. Bioactivity Data Measured by its ability to inhibit uPA cleavage of a peptide substrate, N-carbobenzyloxy-Gly-Gly-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin (Z-GGR-AMC). The IC50 value is

Background :
PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) is a member of plasminogen cascade with an inhibitory role in plasmin activation. PAI-1 is an important regulator of the fibrinolytic process and levels of this antifibrinolytic protein are elevated in diabetes and insulin resistant states.

Synonyms :
PAI; PAI-1; Serpin E1; SERPINE1; PAI1; PLANH1
