Introduction
Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a member of the annexin family, a group of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. These proteins, with molecular weights ranging from 35 kDa to 40 kDa, are found on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. ANXA1, with a molecular weight of 40 kDa, exhibits phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity and binds two to four calcium ions with high affinity. Given that phospholipase A2 is crucial for the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, ANXA1 is thought to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, ANXA1 facilitates membrane fusion and plays a role in exocytosis. The specific recognition of ANXA1 by immunocytochemistry offers a sensitive and reliable diagnostic tool for hairy cell leukemia.
Description
This product consists of the human ANXA1 protein produced in E. coli. It is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 346 amino acids (amino acids 1-346) and has a molecular weight of 38.7 kDa. The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The ANXA1 protein is provided in a solution containing 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT (dithiothreitol), and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To ensure long-term stability during frozen storage, adding a carrier protein such as albumin (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of this protein is greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
