Cyclophilin-F is a key component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in the inner mitochondrial membrane . The activation of this pore is thought to be involved in the induction of apoptotic and necrotic cell death . The specific activity of Cyclophilin-F is greater than 1,300 nmol/min/mg, defined as the amount of enzyme that cleaves 1 nmol of suc-AAPF-pNA per minute at 37°C in Tris-HCl pH 8.0 using chymotrypsin .
Cyclophilin-F (Rat Recombinant Bioactive) is used primarily for laboratory research purposes. It is not approved for use in humans or for clinical diagnosis . For storage, it is recommended to keep the protein at 4°C for short-term use (2-4 weeks) and at -20°C for long-term storage. It is advisable to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain protein stability .
