Introduction
BCL2L2, a member of the BCL-2 protein family, plays a crucial role in promoting cell survival. It functions by suppressing the death-promoting activity of BAX, thereby mediating the survival of postmitotic Sertoli cells. BCL2L2 forms hetero- or homodimers with other BCL-2 family members, acting as a key regulator of apoptosis. Its presence leads to reduced cell apoptosis under cytotoxic conditions. Additionally, BCL2L2 is involved in the survival of neurons dependent on NGF and BDNF and plays a vital role in adult spermatogenesis.
Description
Recombinant Human BCL2L2, expressed in E.coli cells, is a non-glycosylated protein with a homodimeric structure. It comprises 171 amino acids, resulting in a molecular weight of 18.6 kDa. The purification of Human BCL2L2 is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The provided BCL2L2 solution is concentrated and has been filtered through a 0.2µm filter. It is formulated in a buffer consisting of 25 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, 10% Glycerol, 5% Trehalose, and 0.02% Tween-80.
Stability
While BCL2L2 exhibits stability at room temperature for a period of 3 weeks, it is recommended to store it at 4°C for optimal preservation. For extended storage periods, the addition of a carrier protein, such as 0.1% HSA or BSA, is advisable.
Purity
The purity of BCL2L2 is determined to be greater than 95.0%, as confirmed by two methods: (a) analysis using Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC), and (b) analysis using Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
Synonyms
