Introduction
UCN119B, a member of the PDE6D/unc-119 family, is found in high concentrations in the photoreceptors of the retina. This protein shares significant similarities with the C. elegans unc119 gene and can compensate for its absence in mutated C. elegans organisms.
Description
Recombinant human UNC119B, produced in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 271 amino acids (1-251) with a molecular weight of 30.3 kDa. This protein is expressed with an N-terminal 20 amino acid His-tag and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile filtered solution.
Formulation
The UNC119B solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For extended periods, store frozen at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is recommended for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
Purity exceeds 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Unc-119 homolog B (C. elegans), POC7B, POC7 centriolar protein homolog B, MGC5139.
