| Formulation |
The GAGE2A solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 1mM DTT and 20% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
GAGE2A Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 139 amino acids (1-116) and having a molecular mass of 15.0kDa.GAGE2A is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
GAGE2A is a member of a multigene family expressed in a large variety of tumors while in normal tissues; expression is limited to germ cells. These genes organized in clustered repeats, have a high degree of predicted sequence identity, however differ by scattered single nucleotide change. Their sequences have either the antigenic peptide YRPRPRRY or YYWPRPRRY which is recognized by cytotoxic T-cells. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
G Antigen 2A, G Antigen 2A/2B, Cancer/Testis Antigen Family 4, Cancer/Testis Antigen Family 4, Member 2, GAGE-2A, Member 2, CT4.2, GAGE-2. |
| 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. |
