Introduction
Ribosomes, the protein synthesis machinery within cells, consist of a small 40S subunit and a larger 60S subunit. Ribosomal Protein L11 (RPL11), a member of the L5P family, is an integral part of the 60S subunit. This protein, located within the cytoplasm, is believed to interact with the 5S rRNA molecule.
Description
Recombinant human RPL11, expressed in E.coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It comprises 201 amino acids, including a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus, and has a molecular weight of 22.6kDa. The purification process involves proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear solution that has been sterilized through filtration.
Formulation
The RPL11 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml. It is buffered with 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and contains 0.2M NaCl, 1mM DTT, 2mM EDTA, 250mM Imidazole, and 50% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the solution should be kept refrigerated at 4°C. For longer periods, it is recommended to store the protein frozen at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE confirms a purity level exceeding 90%.
Synonyms
