Introduction
NKIRAS1, or NF-kappa-B inhibitor-interacting Ras-like protein 1, belongs to the small GTPase family. This unique Ras-like protein acts as a powerful regulator of NF-kappa-B activity. It achieves this by preventing the breakdown of NF-kappa-B inhibitor beta (NFKBIB) by most signals, explaining why NFKBIB is more resistant to degradation. NKIRAS1 operates by blocking NFKBIB phosphorylation and mediating the cytoplasmic retention of the p65/RELA NF-kappa-B subunit. Both GTP- and GDP-bound forms of NKIRAS1 are capable of blocking NFKBIB phosphorylation.
Description
Recombinant human NKIRAS1, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 212 amino acids (amino acids 1-192) and has a molecular weight of 23.8kDa. Note that the molecular weight observed on SDS-PAGE will be higher. This NKIRAS1 protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The NKIRAS1 protein solution (0.25mg/ml) is supplied in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep the vial refrigerated at 4°C. For longer storage, freeze the protein at -20°C. For optimal long-term storage, we recommend adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the protein.
Purity
The purity is determined to be greater than 95.0% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
NF-kappa-B inhibitor-interacting Ras-like protein 1, I-kappa-B-interacting Ras-like protein 1, Kappa B-Ras protein 1, KappaB-Ras1, NKIRAS1, KBRAS1.
