ACHA2 protein (DYKDDDDK Tag,Strep Tag)

Catalog No. ABIN7597155

Synthetic Nanodisc ACHA2 protein expressed in HEK-293 Cells.

Quick Overview for ACHA2 protein (DYKDDDDK Tag,Strep Tag) (ABIN7597155)

Target: ACHA2

Protein Type: Synthetic Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: HEK-293 Cells

Application: Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), ELISA, Immunogen (Imm), Phage Display (PhD), Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

Product Details

Purification tag / Conjugate: DYKDDDDK Tag,Strep Tag

Purpose: Human ACHA2-Strep 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

Application Notes: Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.

Comment:

Advantages:

• 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:

• Intolerant to acids and high concentrations of divalent metal ions

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution

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: ACHA2

Background: N/A
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels formed by a pentameric arrangement of alpha and beta subunits to create distinct muscle and neuronal receptors. Neuronal receptors are found throughout the peripheral and central nervous system where they are involved in fast synaptic transmission. This gene encodes an alpha subunit that is widely expressed in the brain. The proposed structure for nAChR subunits is a conserved N-terminal extracellular domain followed by three conserved transmembrane domains, a variable cytoplasmic loop, a fourth conserved transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal extracellular region. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 4. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene have been associated with nicotine dependence.
