LHCGR Protein

Catalog No. ABIN7538363

This Synthetic Nanodisc LHCGR protein is produced in Mammalian Cells.

Quick Overview for LHCGR Protein (ABIN7538363)

Target: LHCGR (Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin Receptor (LHCGR))

Protein Type: Synthetic Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: Mammalian Cells

Product Details

Purpose: Human LSHR full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Characteristics: Unlike other membrane scaffold protein (MSP) Nanodisc on the market, our synthetic Nanodisc can be prepared directly from the cells. The polymers used during this process have a dual function. It dissolves the cell membranes, like the detergent, and uses cellular phospholipids to form Nanodisc around the membrane proteins. The target protein embedded Nanodiscs can then be purified.

Application Details

Comment:

Advantages of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Highly purified membrane proteins
• High solubility in aqueous solutions
• High stability
• Proteins are in a native membrane environment and remain biologically active
• No detergent and can be used for cell-based assays
• No MSP backbone proteins

Limitations of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Intolerant to acids and high concentrations of divalent metal ions

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

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.

Storage: -20 °C,-80 °C

Storage Comment: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.

Expiry Date: 12 months

Target Details

Target: LHCGR (Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin Receptor (LHCGR))

Alternative Name: LSHR

Background: This gene encodes the receptor for both luteinizing hormone and choriogonadotropin. This receptor belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, and its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Mutations in this gene result in disorders of male secondary sexual character development, including familial male precocious puberty, also known as testotoxicosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, Leydig cell adenoma with precocious puberty, and male pseudohermaphtoditism with Leydig cell hypoplasia.
