MREG protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 10% glycerol and 1mM DTT. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
MREG Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (1-214 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 27.3kDa.MREG is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Melanoregulin (MREG) takes part in membrane fusion and in regulating the biogenesis of disk membranes of photoreceptor rods. MREG is expressed in photoreceptor cells as two isoforms as a result of alternative splicing. MREG interacts with Peripherin-2, a photoreceptor specific tetraspanin protein which is required to preserve normal cell structure during the renewal process of membrane fusion. Moreover, MREG plays a part in the incorporation of pigments into hair. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Melanoregulin, DSU, Dilute Suppressor Protein Homolog, WDT2, Whn-Dependent Transcript 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).Please avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
