Name : Mouse AMCase/CHIA Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Mouse AMCase/CHIA Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Tyr22-Pro473.[Accession | Q91XA9]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 51 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 53-60 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 0.22μm 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 Mouse AMCase/CHIA on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Mouse AMCase/CHIA is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Background :
Acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) and chitotriosidase (CHIT-1) are two active chitinases expressed in humans. The chitinase activity of AMCase was found to be causative in allergic inflammation and its expression was found to be induced by interleukin-13. CHIT1-1 is expressed by phagocytic cells and extremely high levels are seen in lysosomal storage diseases. The expression of AMCase and CHIT-1 were differently modulated in HMMs at different stage of maturation.

Synonyms :
Acidic mammalian chitinase; AMCase; CHIA; CHIT2; EC 3.2.1.14; Chia1; YNL
