Biotinylated Human GFRAL/GFR alpha-like Protein

产品信息(Product Info)
表达区间及表达系统(Source)

Recombinant Biotinylated Human GFRAL/GFR alpha-like Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag and Avi tag at the C-Terminus.
It contains Ser19-Glu351 [Accession | Q6UXV0].

分子量大小(Molecular Weight)

The protein has a predicted MW of 40.7 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 48-62 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.

纯度(Purity)

> 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE
> 95% as determined by HPLC

内毒素(Endotoxin)

Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

制剂(Formulation)

Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

重构方法(Reconstitution)

Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

存储(Storage)

-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.
-80°C for 3 months after reconstitution.
2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Blocking Data

Serial dilutions of Anti-GDF15 Antibody were added into Human GDF15, His Tag : Biotinylated Human GFRAL, His Tag binding reactioins. The half maximal inhibitiory concentration (IC50) is 40.8ng/ml.

背景(Background)

GFR alpha -like (GDNF receptor-alpha-like) is a distant member of the GDNFR family of proteins. Mature human GFR alpha-like is a 376 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane protein. It contains a 333 aa extracellular domain, a 20 aa transmembrane domain and a 23 aa cytoplasmic domain.GFRAL is a brainstem-restricted receptor for GDF15 which regulates food intake, energy expenditure and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses.

分子别名(Synonyms)

GFR alpha-like; GFRAL; GRAL; C6orf144

Note: HPLC results always come from liquid protein, due to absorption peak interference of trehalose in lyophilized powder.
