Introduction
RAB5B, a member of the Rab small G protein family, plays a crucial role in endocytosis and the recycling of cell surface molecules. It interacts with RIN2 and RIN3, which potentially act as GEFs, to regulate its function. Notably, suppressing RAB5B expression has been found to disrupt the neuroprotective effects mediated by group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs).
Description
This product consists of a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain of RAB5B, a human recombinant protein. Produced in E. coli, it is fused with a 23 amino acid His tag at the N-terminus. This protein encompasses 238 amino acids (1-215 a.a.) and possesses a molecular mass of 26.1 kDa. The purification process involves proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, sterile solution.
Formulation
The provided solution contains RAB5B (1 mg/ml) in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, 20% glycerol, and 0.2M NaCl.
Stability
For optimal storage, refrigerate the solution at 4°C if it will be used within 2-4 weeks. For longer-term storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA. It's important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of this product exceeds 90.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Ras-related protein Rab-5B, RAB5B.
