| Description | GCA produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (1-217.a.) and having a molecular mass of 26.1kDa. GCA is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The GCA protein solution (1mg/1ml) is formulated in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) 0.1M NaCl and 20% glycerol. |
| Protein Background | Grancalcin is calcium-binding protein which is particularly abundant in human neutrophils. GCA is a member of the penta EF-hand (PEF) subfamily of EF-hand proteins, who also comprises calpain, sorcin, peflin, and ALG-2. GCA undergoes essential conformational changes upon binding of calcium, which subsequently exposes hydrophobic amino acid residues, that direct the protein to hydrophobic surfaces. GCA cooperates with L-plastin, a protein known to have actin bundling activity, which suggests that GCA has a part in the regulation of neutrophils adhesion. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.Please avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Grancalcin EF-hand calcium binding protein, GCL, Grancalcin penta-EF-hand protein. |
