Introduction
ARL3 (ARFL3) is a member of the ARF-like protein (ARL) subfamily, which are small GTPases. Unlike ARFs, ARL3 does not activate cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltranferase. It is ubiquitously expressed and may play a role in maintaining rod photoreceptor cells and regulating microtubule-dependent processes. Studies have shown that ARL3 knockdown can result in abnormal cell morphology, cytokinesis failure, alpha-tubulin acetylation, and an increase in binucleated cells.
Description
Recombinant human ARL3 protein, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It contains 206 amino acids (including a 24 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus) and has a molecular weight of 23kDa. The protein sequence comprises amino acids 1-182 of the ARL3 protein, with an additional His-tag for purification. ARL3 is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The ARL3 protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 1mg/ml. The solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 30% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl, 1mM DTT, and 0.1mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the protein at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the product.
Purity
The purity of ARL3 protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 3, ARL3, ARFL3.
