Expression Region:22-292aa
Sequence Info:Partial
Source:E.coli
Tag Info:N-terminal 10xHis-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged
MW:38.1 kDa
Alternative Name(s):Oocyte binding/fusion factor (OBF) (Sperm-specific protein izumo)
Relevance:Essential sperm cell-surface protein required for fertilization by acting as a ligand for IZUMO1R/JUNO receptor on egg. The IZUMO1:IZUMO1R/JUNO interaction is a necessary adhesion event between sperm and egg that is required for fertilization but is not sufficient for cell fusion . The ligand-receptor interaction probably does not act as a membrane 'fusogen'.
Reference:"The immunoglobulin superfamily protein Izumo is required for sperm to fuse with eggs." Inoue N., Ikawa M., Isotani A., Okabe M. Nature 434:234-238(2005)
Purity:Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Form:Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Buffer:If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution:We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20?/-80?. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Storage:The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20?/-80?. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20?/-80?.
Notes:Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4? for up to one week.
