NPC1L1 Protein

Produktnummer ABIN7491703

Produktdetails

Target: NPC1L1 (NPC1 (Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C1, Gene)-Like 1 (NPC1L1))

Protein-Typ: Synthetic Nanodisc

Spezies: Human

Quelle: HEK-293 Cells

Verwendungszweck: Human NPC1L1 full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Produktmerkmale: 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.

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

Beschränkungen: Nur für Forschungszwecke einsetzbar

Handhabung

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.

Lagerung: -20 °C,-80 °C

Informationen zur Lagerung: 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.

Haltbarkeit: 12 months

Synonyme: NPC1L1 Protein, 9130221N23Rik Protein, Gm243 Protein, NPC11L1 Protein, NPC1 like intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Protein, NPC1 like 1 Protein, NPC1-like 1 Protein, NPC1L1 Protein, npc1l1 Protein, Npc1l1 Protein

Hintergrund: The protein is a multi-pass membrane protein. It contains a conserved N-terminal Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) domain and a putative sterol-sensing domain (SSD) which includes a YQRL motif functioning as a plasma membrane to trans-Golgi network transport signal in other proteins. This protein takes up free cholesterol into cells through vesicular endocytosis and plays a critical role in the absorption of intestinal cholesterol. It also has the ability to transport alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). The drug ezetimibe targets this protein and inhibits the absorption of intestinal cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol. In addition, this protein may play a critical role in regulating lipid metabolism. Polymorphic variations in this gene are associated with plasma total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.

Molekulargewicht: The human full length NPC1L1 protein has a MW of 148.7 kDa
