Introduction
BolA Homolog 1 (BOLA1), a member of the bolA/yrbA family, is a non-classical secreted protein. Studies have shown that BOLA1, along with other BolA proteins (hBolA2, hBolA3), can be secreted into the culture medium of transfected Cos-7 cells. This secretion process is independent of the Golgi apparatus and is not affected by BFA treatment.
Description
Recombinant Human BOLA1, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. This protein comprises 140 amino acids (residues 21-137) with a molecular weight of 14 kDa. For purification purposes, a 23 amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus. The purification process utilizes proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has undergone sterile filtration.
Formulation
The BOLA1 protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The solution is buffered with 20mM Tris-HCl at a pH of 8.0 and supplemented with 0.2M NaCl, 20% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein (either HSA or BSA) at a concentration of 0.1%. It's important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of this product is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
BolA-like protein 1, hBolA, BOLA1, CGI-143.
