Introduction
CRAHSP1, a serine phosphoprotein, serves as a physiological substrate for the Ca2+-calmodulin regulated protein phosphatase calcineurin (PP2B). This protein interacts with STYX/dead phosphate protein during spermatid development and shares homology with PIPPIN, a brain-specific mRNA-binding protein. CRAHSP1 is thought to play a role in calcium-mediated signal transduction through phosphorylation at serine residues.
Description
Recombinant human CRAHSP1, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 167 amino acids, including a 20 amino acid His tag at the N-terminus (1-147 a.a. of the CRAHSP1 sequence), and has a molecular weight of 18kDa. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution, sterile-filtered.
Formulation
The CRAHSP1 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), supplemented with 10% glycerol and 0.1M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, freezing at -20°C is recommended. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 90.0% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
