Amyloid Precursor Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

Amyloid Precursor Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is an Amyloid Precursor (APP) protein with C-Fc. Amyloid Precursor Protein can be used for the study of brain development, learning and memory, synaptic plasticity, and neurodegeneration^[1].

Recombinant Human Amyloid Precursor is a single-pass transmembrane protein expressed at high levels in the brain and metabolized in a rapid and highly complex fashion by a series of sequential protease, including the intramembranous γ-secretase complex.
Human Amyloid Precursor is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein after removal of the signal peptide, it modulates cell growth, motility, neurite outgrowth, and cell survival, functions that can be reproduced by the soluble ectodomain, which is released by cleavage of APP. Human Amyloid Precursor protein and amyloid beta alter bioenergetic pathways and mitochondrial function^[1][2].

120-145 kDa

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
