Introduction
HSPA8, a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, encompasses both heat-inducible and constitutively expressed proteins known as heat-shock cognate proteins. As a heat-shock cognate protein, HSPA8 binds to newly formed polypeptide chains, ensuring their proper folding. It functions as an ATPase, playing a crucial role in disassembling clathrin-coated vesicles by facilitating the movement of membrane components within the cell. Found in colon cancer cells, HSPA8 participates in the disassembly of the reovirus outer capsid during membrane penetration, preparing the virus for gene expression and replication. Notably, serum HSPA8 levels decrease during normal human pregnancy. HSPA8 also plays a role in the effects of androgens on dermal papilla cells. Furthermore, HSPA8 exhibits a direct interaction with the influenza virus matrix protein 1, making it essential for viral production.
Description
Recombinant Human HSC70, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 666 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 to 646). It possesses a molecular mass of 73.1 kDa. This recombinant human HSC70 is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at its N-terminus and is purified using conventional chromatography techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The HSC70 protein solution is formulated with 20mM Tris buffer at a pH of 8 and contains 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep the vial refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA at a concentration of 0.1%. It is important to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of the protein is greater than 90.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
