Introduction
CRNN, short for SEP53, belongs to a family of proteins characterized by a fusion of specific domains. These proteins possess N-terminal EF-hand domains, known for calcium binding, and multiple repeating peptide sequences. CRNN itself contains two of these EF-hand domains and two 60-amino acid repeats rich in glutamine and threonine at its C-terminus. Functionally, CRNN plays a role in both the immune response at mucosal and epithelial surfaces and in the differentiation of epidermal cells. Furthermore, CRNN acts as a survival factor, contributing to the ability of squamous esophageal epithelium cells to form colonies. It mitigates cell death and calcium release induced by deoxycholic acid (DCA). Interestingly, high levels of CRNN in oral squamous carcinoma cell lines can actually suppress cell proliferation by triggering G1 arrest.
Description
This product consists of the recombinant human CRNN protein, expressed in E. coli bacteria. A 20-amino acid Histidine tag is attached to the protein's N-terminal end to facilitate purification. This protein is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 515 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 through 495). It has a molecular weight of 55.7 kDa. Purification of the CRNN protein is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods, ensuring high purity.
Physical Appearance
The product appears as a clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The CRNN protein is supplied in a solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer at a pH of 8 and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the product can be kept at a refrigerated temperature of 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein (either 0.1% HSA or BSA) to the solution. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE confirms that the purity of this product exceeds 85%.
