Introduction
Tumor Suppressor Candidate 2 (TUSC2), a member of the TUSC2 family, acts as a tumor suppressor. It inhibits colony formation, induces G1 arrest, and ultimately leads to apoptosis in cells lacking the homozygous 3p21.3 120-kb region.
Description
Recombinant human TUSC2, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 133 amino acids (residues 1-110) with a molecular weight of 14.5 kDa. This protein is fused to a 23-amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution, sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The TUSC2 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4 M urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 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 is greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
