Introduction
Protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA 1 (PTP4A1), involved in cell signaling, regulates various cellular functions. This unique nuclear PTP is upregulated in regenerating liver and mitogen-stimulated cells. PTP4A1 is primarily found in the spleen, bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, T lymphocytes, and tonsils. Its overexpression is observed in tumor cell lines.
Description
Recombinant human PTP4A1, expressed in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 190 amino acids (1-170 a.a.) with an N-terminal 20 amino acid His tag. This protein, with a molecular weight of 21.6 kDa, is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Colorless, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The PTP4A1 solution (1 mg/ml) is supplied in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 20% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For long-term storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for extended storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeding 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
