PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.

4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
C-raf is the cellular homolog of viral raf gene (v-raf) and encodes a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K), which functions downstream of the Ras family of membrane associated GTPases.Once activated, C-raf phosphorylates and activates the protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2, which in turn phosphorylate and activate the serine/threonine specific protein kinases, ERK1 and ERK2.These activated ERKs are pleiotropic effectors of cell physiology and play an important role in the control of gene expression involved in the cell division cycle, apoptosis, cell differentiation and cell migration.Mutations in this gene are associated with Noonan syndrome 5 and LEOPARD syndrome 2.
