Introduction
Stathmin-1 (STMN1) plays a crucial role in regulating microtubule structure by promoting their disassembly and inhibiting assembly. This ubiquitous cytosolic phosphoprotein acts as an intracellular messenger, integrating regulatory signals from the cellular environment. STMN1 exhibits oncogenic properties by influencing cell cycle progression, with mutations potentially leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Its expression is linked to cervical carcinogenesis and tumor development, making it a significant prognostic marker for cervical cancer. Additionally, STMN1 contributes to preventing the progression of ER-positive primary breast cancer. Somatic mutations in STMN1 can disrupt cellular homeostasis, ultimately contributing to tumorigenesis.
Description
Recombinant Human Stathmin-1, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 169 amino acids (with residues 1-149 representing Stathmin-1) and possessing a molecular weight of 19.4 kDa. The protein includes a 20 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus and is purified using standard chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile, colorless solution.
Formulation
The STMN1 protein solution is formulated in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8 and contains 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
