MSHR Human Recombinant Protein, Synthetic Nanodisc
Specifications
| Product Data | |
| Species | Human |
|---|---|
| Expression Host | HEK293 |
| Tag | C-Flag & Strep Tag |
| Predicted MW | 34.7 kDa |
| Concentration | Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the lot-specific concentration before lyophilization. |
| Buffer | Lyophilized from nanodisc solubilization buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). Normally 5% - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Do not use solvents with pH lower than 6.5 in subsequent experiments. |
| Reconstitution Method | 1. Before opening the tube cap, centrifuge the sample tube at 5000g for 3-5min at room temperature to ensure the lyophilized sample settles down at the bottom of the tube. 2. Calculate the volume for reconstitution (in µL) using the formula: Quantity (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL)x1000 3. Dissolve the lyophilized protein sample in sterile water based on the calculated volume (µL) 4. After adding sterile water, cover the lid and mix by gently tapping the tube 5-10 times. Note: Do not vortex or vigorously pipette the sample. |
| Storage | Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. |
| Stability | After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C . Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
| Shipping | Ambient |

| Summary | This intronless gene encodes the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The encoded protein, a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor, controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin. Gene mutations that lead to a loss in function are associated with increased pheomelanin production, which leads to lighter skin and hair color. Eumelanin is photoprotective but pheomelanin may contribute to UV-induced skin damage by generating free radicals upon UV radiation. Binding of MSH to its receptor activates the receptor and stimulates eumelanin synthesis. This receptor is a major determining factor in sun sensitivity and is a genetic risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Over 30 variant alleles have been identified which correlate with skin and hair color, providing evidence that this gene is an important component in determining normal human pigment variation. provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008 |
