5'-AMP-activated protein kinase subunit beta-2 (PRKAB2), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 1-272aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: N-terminal GST-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MGNTTSDRVS GERHGAKAAR SEGAGGHAPG KEHKIMVGST DDPSVFSLPD SKLPGDKEFV SWQQDLEDSV KPTQQARPTV IRWSEGGKEV FISGSFNNWS TKIPLIKSHN DFVAILDLPE GEHQYKFFVD GQWVHDPSEP VVTSQLGTIN NLIHVKKSDF EVFDALKLDS MESSETSCRD LSSSPPGPYG QEMYAFRSEE RFKSPPILPP HLLQVILNKD TNISCDPALL PEPNHVMLNH LYALSIKDSV MVLSATHRYK KKYVTTLLYK PI. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Non-catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism. In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes: inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation. AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators. Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton, probably by indirectly activating myosin. Beta non-catalytic subunit acts as a scaffold on which the AMPK complex assembles, via its C-terminus that bridges alpha (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2) and gamma subunits (PRKAG1, PRKAG2 or PRKAG3).
