Introduction
STIP1, also known as Stress-induced-phosphoprotein 1, is an adaptor protein that links the functions of HSP70 and HSP90 in the protein folding pathway. It facilitates the transfer of client proteins from HSP70 to HSP90 by simultaneously binding to both HSP90 and substrate-bound HSP70. STIP1 exhibits a regulatory role over these chaperones by stimulating the ATPase activity of HSP70 while inhibiting that of HSP90. This suggests STIP1's influence on the conformational changes and ATPase cycles of both HSP70 and HSP90. Genetic variations in STIP1 have been implicated in the regulation of corticosteroid response among asthmatic individuals experiencing reduced lung function.
Description
Recombinant STIP1 Mouse protein, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. This protein consists of 563 amino acids, with residues 1-543 representing the STIP1 sequence, and has a molecular weight of 64.7 kDa. A 20 amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus to facilitate purification. The protein undergoes purification using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The STIP1 solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml and is formulated in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 M NaCl, 1 mM DTT, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the STIP1 solution should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein, such as HSA or BSA (0.1%), is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of STIP1 is determined to be greater than 95% using SDS-PAGE analysis.
