X-press Tag Peptide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
X-press Tag Peptide is a tag peptide used for protein purification. X-press Tag is also an N-terminal leader peptide; this N-terminal peptide contains a polyhistidine sequence, the Xpress epitope (part of bacteriophage T7 gene 10 protein) and an enterokinase cleavage site. Anti-Xpress antibodies recognize the Xpress epitope sequence found in this leader peptide.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
X-press Tag is a commonly used protein purification tag. X-press Tag binds to the N-terminus or C-terminus of the target protein, affinity chromatography will be performed using specific antibodies or ligands to efficiently separate the target protein from other cellular components[1].

Baculovirus-insect cell protein expression and purification
Baculovirus-insect cell expression uses recombinant baculovirus to deliver a target gene into insect cells, where late or very-late viral transcription drives recombinant protein production; the method was classically demonstrated by expression of human β-interferon in baculovirus-infected insect cells. The readout is target protein accumulation, assessed by activity, fluorescence if a fluorescent reporter is used, SDS-PAGE, Western blot, or purified protein yield. The system can express soluble, secreted, membrane-associated, and multiprotein targets, but expression outcome depends on the construct, baculovirus vector, insect cell line, multiplicity of infection, infection cell density, harvest time, and target-specific stability.

Inclusion-body expression, solubilization, refolding and purification
Inclusion-body recovery uses insoluble recombinant protein aggregates from E. coli as a starting material; the workflow is cell disruption, inclusion-body isolation/washing, denaturant or mild solubilization, refolding into soluble protein, and final chromatographic purification. The readouts are soluble protein recovery, purity by SDS-PAGE/chromatography, structural recovery by methods such as circular dichroism when used, and biological activity when an assay is available.

Protocol For Protein Expression And Purification
Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli followed by purification of a His-tagged soluble protein by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC), with optional MBP fusion and TEV tag removal when the construct includes these elements. The biological readout is production of the encoded target protein, detected as an inducible band at the expected molecular mass by SDS-PAGE and quantified by total protein assay or chromatographic absorbance; the purification readout is enrichment of the target protein in elution fractions after selective binding of polyhistidine residues to immobilized Ni2+/metal-chelate resin and elution by imidazole-containing buffer. Expression is driven by an inducible bacterial expression system, commonly T7/lac-based, in which IPTG or lactose/auto-induction activates transcription and translation of the cloned gene; lower induction temperature, lower inducer concentration, induction timing, and solubility-enhancing fusion tags can influence the frac

Mammalian transient protein expression and purification
Mammalian transient protein expression introduces plasmid DNA into HEK293 or CHO cells for short-term recombinant protein production, allowing secreted, glycosylated, Fc-tagged, His-tagged, or membrane proteins to be produced without stable clone generation.
