Introduction
Belonging to the FAM3 family, Family with Sequence Similarity 3, Member D (FAM3D) has been associated with narcolepsy and diabetes mellitus in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Despite these links, the precise function of FAM3D is still not fully understood. FAM3D is highly expressed in the placenta and shows low expression levels in the small intestine.
Description
FAM3D Human Recombinant, produced in E.Coli, is an un-glycosylated polypeptide chain with a single chain. It consists of amino acids 26-224 (a.a), totaling 209 amino acids. This includes a 10 a.a N-terminal His tag, resulting in a calculated total molecular mass of 23.3kDa.
Physical Appearance
White powder, lyophilized and filtered.
Formulation
FAM3D is supplied as a lyophilized powder, filtered to 0.4 µm, from a solution of 0.5mg/ml in 0.05M Acetate buffer at pH 4.0.
Solubility
To create a working stock solution of around 0.5mg/ml, we recommend adding 0.1M Acetate buffer at pH 4 to the lyophilized pellet. Allow the pellet to fully dissolve at 37°C. If a higher pH value is needed, dilute the solution extensively with the appropriate buffer to a concentration of 10µg/ml. The solubility of this antigen is limited at higher concentrations. Note: FAM3D is not sterile. Before using in cell culture, the product should be filtered through a suitable sterile filter.
Stability
The lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Once reconstituted, aliquot the product to prevent repeated cycles of freezing and thawing. The reconstituted protein remains stable at 4°C for a limited duration and shows no noticeable change for up to two weeks when stored at this temperature.
Purity
The purity is determined to be greater than 90.0% using SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Protein FAM3D, FAM3D, EF7, OIT1.
