Introduction
Adiponectin, also known as Acrp30, AdipoQ, and GBP-28, is a 244-amino acid protein encoded by the apM1 gene. This protein plays an active physiological role and is primarily produced by adipose cells (making it an adipokine). Structurally, adiponectin belongs to the soluble defense collagen superfamily, possessing a collagen-like domain similar to collagen VIII and X, and a globular domain resembling complement factor C1q. APM-1 forms homotrimers, serving as the foundation for larger complexes found circulating in serum.
Description
This product consists of recombinant human Acrp30 with an N-terminal His tag. Produced in E. coli, the His-tagged Acrp30 fusion protein has a molecular weight of 26.4 kDa. It comprises 230 amino acid residues of the human Acrp30 protein and an additional 12 amino acid residues forming the His tag.
Physical Appearance
White powder, lyophilized (freeze-dried) and filtered.
Formulation
This Acrp30 Human product undergoes filtration (0.4 μm) and lyophilization from a solution of 0.5 mg/ml in 0.02M Tris buffer (pH 7.5) and 0.15M NaCl.
Solubility
To create a working solution, add deionized water to the lyophilized pellet, aiming for a concentration of about 0.5 mg/ml. Allow the pellet to dissolve entirely. Please note that this product is not sterile. Before use in cell culture, sterilize the product by filtration using an appropriate sterile filter.
Stability
Store lyophilized Acrp30 Human at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot the product to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Reconstituted Acrp30 Human remains stable at 4°C for a limited time, showing no noticeable changes for up to two weeks.
Purity
The purity of Acrp30 Human exceeds 95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Acrp30, AdipoQ, GBP-28, APM-1, ACDC.
