Introduction
As a member of the BRK1 family, BRK1 plays a role in the organization of actin and microtubules. It is part of a WAVE complex responsible for activating the Arp2/3 complex.
Description
Recombinant human BRK1, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 11.0 kDa. It consists of 98 amino acids, including amino acids 1 to 75 of the BRK1 sequence, and a 23 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus.
Physical Appearance
A clear, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The BRK1 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and contains 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1 mM DTT, 150 mM NaCl, and 20% glycerol.
Stability
For optimal storage, keep the entire vial at 4°C if it will be used within 2-4 weeks. For longer-term storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like 0.1% HSA or BSA is recommended for extended storage. It's important to minimize repeated freezing and thawing of the solution.
Purity
The purity of the protein is greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
