| Formulation |
RBP2 protein solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.1M NaCl and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
RBP2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 158 amino acids (1-134 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 18kDa. RBP2 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Retinol Binding Protein-2 (RBP2) which is present in the small intestinal epithelium takes part in the uptake and intracellular metabolism of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for growth, reproduction, differentiation of epithelial tissues, and vision. RBP2 moderates the supply of retinoic acid to the nuclei of endometrial cells throughout the menstrual cycle. |
| Expression host |
E.coli. |
| Synonyms |
CRABP-II, CRBP2, CRBPII, RBPC2, Retinol-binding protein 2, Cellular retinol-binding protein II, RBP2. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless 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. |
