Introduction
Dual Specificity Phosphatase 22, also known as DUSP22, belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. This phosphatase is characterized by a tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain. DUSP22 plays a role in activating the Jnk signaling pathway. It dephosphorylates and deactivates both p38 and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK). Notably, DUSP22 interacts with MAPK1 and MAPK8.
Description
Recombinant DUSP22, derived from humans and produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. This chain consists of 207 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 through 184) and has a molecular mass of 23.3 kDa. The DUSP22 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag located at the N-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
A clear and colorless solution that has been sterilized through filtration.
Formulation
The DUSP22 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4M Urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For optimal storage, keep the solution at 4°C if it will be used within 2 to 4 weeks. For longer storage durations, freeze the solution at -20°C. When storing long-term, it is advisable to add a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA. It is important to avoid repeated cycles of freezing and thawing.
Purity
Purity levels exceed 85.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
