Introduction
Charged multivesicular body protein 1a (CHMP1A), a member of the vacuolar sorting protein family, plays a crucial role as a chromatin-modifying protein. This protein is integral to complexes responsible for the sorting of endosomal components into multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and is vital for MVB formation. The MVB pathway facilitates the distribution of transmembrane proteins into lysosomes for degradation. CHMP1A interacts with VPS4B and is localized to early endosomes.
Description
Recombinant human CHMP1A, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 219 amino acids (1-196 a.a.) with a molecular mass of 24.1 kDa. Note: The molecular size on SDS-PAGE might appear higher. This CHMP1A protein is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A sterile, filtered solution that is colorless.
Formulation
The CHMP1A protein solution (0.5 mg/ml) is supplied in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 M NaCl, 20% glycerol, and 1 mM DTT.
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. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 85.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
