Heat shock protein beta-6 (Hspb6), rat, recombinant

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 1-162aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: C-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MEIRVPVQPS WLRRASAPLP GFSTPGRLFD QRFGEGLLEA ELASLCPAAI APYYLRAPSV ALPTAQVPTD PGYFSVLLDV KHFSPEEISV KVVGDHVEVH ARHEERPDEH GFIAREFHRR YRLPPGVDPA AVTSALSPEG VLSIQATPAS AQASLPSPPA AK. 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: Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding-competent state. Seems to have versatile functions in various biological processes. Plays a role in regulating muscle function such as smooth muscle vasorelaxation and cardiac myocyte contractility. May regulate myocardial angiogenesis implicating KDR. Overexpression mediates cardioprotection and angiogenesis after induced damage. Stabilizes monomeric YWHAZ thereby supporting YWHAZ chaperone-like activity. Reference: "Quantitative maps of protein phosphorylation sites across 14 different rat organs and tissues."
