Formulation |
CHRNA3 protein solution (1mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) and 10% glycerol. |
Purity |
Greater than 80.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Description |
CHRNA3 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 232 amino acids (32-240 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 27kDa. CHRNA3 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
Protein Background |
Cholinergic Receptor Nicotinic Alpha 3, also known as CHRNA3 is part of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor family. Proteins of this family form pentameric complexes comprised of both alpha & beta subunits. Furthermore, CHRNA3 is ligand-gated ions channel which prticipates in neurotransmission. CHRNA3 has been associated with an increased risk of smoking initiation as well as an increased susceptibility to lung cancer. |
Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |

Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
