DBI Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

DBI, a versatile protein, binds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters, indicating a potential intracellular carrier role. It also displaces diazepam from the benzodiazepine recognition site on the GABA type A receptor. This dual functionality suggests DBI may act as a neuropeptide, modulating GABA receptor activity. Remarkably, DBI functions as a monomer in these interactions. DBI Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived DBI protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

DBI, a versatile protein, binds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters, indicating a potential intracellular carrier role. It also displaces diazepam from the benzodiazepine recognition site on the GABA type A receptor. This dual functionality suggests DBI may act as a neuropeptide, modulating GABA receptor activity. Remarkably, DBI functions as a monomer in these interactions. DBI Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived DBI protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

DBI, a versatile protein, exhibits a remarkable affinity for binding medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters, suggesting its potential role as an intracellular carrier for these molecules. Additionally, DBI demonstrates the ability to displace diazepam from the benzodiazepine (BZD) recognition site situated on the GABA type A receptor. This intriguing dual functionality raises the possibility that DBI serves as a neuropeptide, exerting modulation on the activity of the GABA receptor. Notably, DBI functions as a monomer in carrying out these interactions.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

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.
