Introduction
ERO1-like protein alpha (ERO1L) is a crucial enzyme that facilitates protein oxidation and is indispensable for the proper folding of immunoglobulins. This protein interacts with protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) to form disulfide bonds within proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Hypoxia stimulates ERO1L, suggesting its regulation by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF) pathway. ERO1L expression is ubiquitous at low levels but elevates in the upper digestive tract and esophagus. Notably, ERO1L participates in releasing unfolded cholera toxin from reduced P4HB/PDI during V.cholerae infection, thereby playing a role in toxin retrotranslocation. Moreover, ERO1L has a critical role in ER stress-induced, CHOP-dependent apoptosis by activating the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor IP3R1.
Description
This product consists of a recombinant human ERO1L protein produced in E.coli. It is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 468 amino acids (residues 24-468) with a molecular weight of 54.4 kDa. The protein includes a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
This product appears as a clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The ERO1L protein is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), store the product at 4°C. For longer storage, freeze the product at -20°C. To maximize long-term stability, adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of this protein is greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
