Description : |
Laminin subunitalpha-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LAMA4 gene. Laminins, afamily of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, are the major noncollagenousconstituent of basement membranes. They have been implicated in a widevariety of biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation,migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. Laminins are composedof 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, andB2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms,each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains.Each laminin chain is a multidomain protein encoded by a distinct gene.Several isoforms of each chain have been described |
MolecularMass : |
111 kDa |
Purity : |
>90%, by SDSPAGE underreducing conditions and visualized by silver stain. |
Activity : |
Measured by theability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of HT1080 humanfibrosarcoma cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.7-2.8 μg/mL.Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for eachapplication |
EndotoxinLevel : |
<1.0 EU per 1 μgof the protein by the LAL method. |
N-terminalSequenceAnalysis : |
Gln826 predicted,sequencing might be blocked, no result obtained |
Formulation : |
Lyophilized from a0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS. |
Reconstitution : |
Reconstitute at 200μg/mL in PBS |
Storage : |
Use a manual defrostfreezer and avoid repeated freeze thaw Cycles. 12 months from date ofreceipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterileconditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -70°C under sterileconditions after reconstitution. |
