FNTA Protein, Human

Cat. No.: HY-P701885
Handling Instructions

FNTA protein is a key subunit in the farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase complexes, which can transfer farnesyl or geranylgeranyl moieties to proteins with Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X sequence cysteine residues in proteins. This enzymatic activity contributes to post-translational protein modifications. FNTA Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived FNTA protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of FNTA Protein, Human is 379 a.a., .

Description

FNTA protein is a key subunit in the farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase complexes, which can transfer farnesyl or geranylgeranyl moieties to proteins with Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X sequence cysteine residues in proteins. This enzymatic activity contributes to post-translational protein modifications. FNTA Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived FNTA protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of FNTA Protein, Human is 379 a.a., .

Background

FNTA Protein serves as an essential subunit in both the farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase complexes, playing a crucial role in transferring farnesyl or geranylgeranyl moieties to cysteine residues within proteins characterized by the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. This enzymatic activity contributes to the post-translational modification of various proteins. Moreover, FNTA may play a positive regulatory role in neuromuscular junction development, acting downstream of MUSK by facilitating the prenylation and activation of RAC1. This highlights the protein's involvement in cellular processes with broader implications for signaling and cellular structure.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
