Biological Activity

Description

Calmodulin Protein, Human is a recombinant human Calmodulin expressed in E. coli. Calmodulin is a low molecular weight, acidic, calcium binding protein which mediates the Ca2+ regulation of a wide range of physiological processes throughout eukaryotic organisms[1].

Background

At low free Ca2+ concentrations, such as exist in resting muscle sarcoplasm, calmodulin exists in the Ca2+-free form in which state it does not generally interact with a target protein. Following an appropriate stimulus, the free Ca2+ concentration rises whereupon Ca2+ binds to calmodulin which undergoes a conformational change enabling it to interact with a target protein(s)[1].

Verified Bioactivity

206875- 251818.182 units per mg protein. One unit is defined as the amount of calmodulin which will give rise to 50% of the maximal enzyme activation of a standard level of activator-deficient calcineurin.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM NH4HCO3, pH 8.0.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

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).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. 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.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
