Recombinant Rat S100a8 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: S100a8-2039R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat S100a8 Protein (Met1-Glu89) with N-His tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autocrine signaling; response to ethanol; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of urinary bladder cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocarditis. Orthologous to human S100A8 (S100 calcium binding protein A8).
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Rat
• Tag: His
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 13.9 kDa
  Accurate Molecular Mass: 11 kDa
• Protein length: Met1-Glu89
• Purity: > 95%
• Applications: Cell culture; Activity Assays.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 centigrade for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
• Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8 centigrade for one month. Aliquot and store at -80 centigrade for 12 months.
• Storage Buffer: 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl (pH8.0) to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex.
