Introduction
GPD1L, or Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like protein, plays a crucial role in converting sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to glycerone phosphate. This protein is primarily located in the cytoplasm and is associated with the plasma membrane. At the plasma membrane, GPD1L binds to SCN5A, the alpha subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel, type V. Genetic mutations affecting the GPD1L gene have been linked to serious medical conditions like SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and Brugada syndrome type 2, a type of inherited cardiac arrhythmia.
Description
Recombinant GPD1L Human, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 371 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 through 351). With a molecular weight of 40.6 kDa, this protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at its N-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized through filtration.
Formulation
The GPD1L protein solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the product can be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
Purity of the GPD1L protein is greater than 95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like protein, GPD1-L, GPD1L, KIAA0089.
