Characteristics:

• Made in Germany - from design to production - by highly experienced protein experts.
• Human FNTA Protein (raised in E. Coli) purified by multi-step, protein-specific process to ensure crystallization grade.
• State-of-the-art algorithm used for plasmid design (Gene synthesis).

This protein is a made to order protein and will be made for the first time for your order. Our experts in the lab will ensure that you receive a correctly folded protein.

The big advantage of ordering our made-to-order proteins in comparison to ordering custom made proteins from other companies is that there is no financial obligation in case the protein cannot be expressed or purified.

In the unlikely event that the protein cannot be expressed or purified we do not charge anything (other companies might charge you for any performed steps in the expression process for custom-made proteins, e.g. fees might apply for the expression plasmid, the first expression experiments or purification optimization).

When you order this made-to-order protein you will only pay upon receival of the correctly folded protein. With no financial risk on your end you can rest assured that our experienced protein experts will do everything to make sure that you receive the protein you ordered.

The concentration of our recombinant proteins is measured using the absorbance at 280nm. The protein's absorbance will be measured in several dilutions and is measured against its specific reference buffer.

The concentration of the protein is calculated using its specific absorption coefficient. We use the Expasy's protparam tool to determine the absorption coefficient of each protein.

Purification: Two step purification of proteins expressed in bacterial culture:

1. In a first purification step, the protein is purified from the cleared cell lysate using three different His-tag capture materials: high yield, EDTA resistant, or DTT resistant. Eluate fractions are analyzed by SDS-PAGE.
2. Protein containing fractions of the best purification are subjected to second purification step through size exclusion chromatography. Eluate fractions are analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.

Purity: >95 % as determined by SDS PAGE, Size Exclusion Chromatography and Western Blot.

Sterility: 0.22 μm filtered

Endotoxin Level: Endotoxin has not been removed. Please contact us if you require endotoxin removal.

Grade: Crystallography grade

Application Details

Application Notes: In addition to the applications listed above we expect the protein to work for functional studies as well. As the protein has not been tested for functional studies yet we cannot offer a guarantee though.

Comment:

In cases in which it is highly likely that the recombinant protein with the default tag will be insoluble our protein lab may suggest a higher molecular weight tag (e.g. GST-tag) instead to increase solubility. We will discuss all possible options with you in detail to assure that you receive your protein of interest.

Target Details

Target: FNTA (Farnesyltransferase, CAAX Box, alpha (FNTA))

Alternative Name: FNTA (FNTA Products)

Synonyms: ATFTA Protein, FARNESYLTRANSFERASE A Protein, FARNESYLTRANSFERASE SUBUNIT A Protein, PFT/PGGT-IALPHA Protein, PLP Protein, PLURIPETALA Protein, farnesyltransferase A Protein, FPTA Protein, PGGT1A Protein, PTAR2 Protein, PFAS Protein, FTA Protein, farnesyltransferase A Protein, farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, alpha Protein, FTA Protein, FNTA Protein, Fnta Protein

Background: Essential subunit of both the farnesyltransferase and the geranylgeranyltransferase complex. Contributes to the transfer of a farnesyl or geranylgeranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranylgeranyl diphosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. May positively regulate neuromuscular junction development downstream of MUSK via its function in RAC1 prenylation and activation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12036349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12825937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16893176, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19246009, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8419339, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8494894}.
