Introduction
Cyclophilin B, also known as PPIB or peptidylpropyl isomerase B, is a cyclosporine-binding protein found primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum. It plays a role in the secretory pathway and is released into biological fluids. Cyclophilin B can bind to cells from T and B lymphocytes, potentially regulating cyclosporine A-mediated immunosuppression.
Description
Recombinant Human Cyclophilin-B, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain encompassing amino acids Asp34 to Glu216 (193 amino acids total) and containing a 10-amino acid His tag at the N-terminus. The calculated molecular mass is 22 kDa.
Physical Appearance
White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Cyclophilin-B was sterile filtered (0.4 µm) and lyophilized in 20 mM Tris buffer with 50 mM NaCl, at pH 7.5.
Solubility
To prepare a working stock solution, add deionized water to the lyophilized pellet to achieve a concentration of approximately 0.5 mg/ml. Allow the pellet to dissolve completely. Note: This product is not sterile. Filter through an appropriate sterile filter before use in cell culture.
Stability
Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot the product to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Reconstituted protein remains stable at 4°C for a limited period (up to two weeks with no observable change).
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 95.0% by SDS-PAGE.
