| Description | VAT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 413 amino acids (1-393 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 44.1kDa. VAT1 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | E.coli. |
| Formulation | VAT1 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol and 100mM NaCl. |
| Inactivation | Protein quantitation was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.66 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). |
| Protein Background | Synaptic vesicle membrane protein VAT-1 homolog (VAT1) is a member of the quinone oxidoreductase subfamily of zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase proteins. Synaptic vesicles are in charge of regulating the storage and release of neurotransmitters in the nerve terminal. VAT1 has an increased calcium ion-dependent expression in glioblastomas and on wounding, in basal keratinocytes. VAT1 is an abundant integral membrane protein of cholinergic synaptic vesicles and is believed to be involved in vesicular transport. |
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Synaptic vesicle membrane protein VAT-1 homolog, VAT1, VATI. |
