Introduction
CHMP2B, a member of the vacuolar sorting protein family, plays a crucial role in the ESCRT-III complex. This complex is vital for sorting endosomal articles into multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and is essential for their formation. CHMP2B is commonly found in various tissues including the brain, heart, skeletal muscle, small intestine, pancreas, lung, placenta, and leukocytes.
Description
Recombinant human CHMP2B, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 233 amino acids (1-213) with a molecular weight of 26.1 kDa. This protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at the N-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
CHMP2B protein is supplied at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCL (pH 8), 0.1M NaCl, 2mM DTT, and 20% Glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the protein should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the protein at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA. It is crucial to avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the protein.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE indicates a purity greater than 90%.
Synonyms
Chromatin modifying protein 2B, CHMP2.5, VPS2B, Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 2-2, hVps2-2, DMT1, DKFZp564O123, VPS2 homolog B.
