Profilin-4 Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The profilin-4 protein is critical for male fertility and plays an important role in manchette development and acrosome biogenesis during spermatogenesis. It has binding affinity for a variety of phospholipids, including PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(4,5)P2, PtdIns(4)P, and PA. Profilin-4 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Profilin-4 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Description

The profilin-4 protein is critical for male fertility and plays an important role in manchette development and acrosome biogenesis during spermatogenesis. It has binding affinity for a variety of phospholipids, including PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(4,5)P2, PtdIns(4)P, and PA. Profilin-4 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Profilin-4 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Background

Profilin-4 protein plays a crucial role in male fertility, being essential for manchette development and acrosome biogenesis during spermiogenesis. This protein exhibits binding affinity in vitro to various phospholipids, including phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P), and phosphatidic acid (PA). Notably, unlike other members of the profilin family, Profilin-4 does not bind to actin in vitro. These distinctive properties underscore its specialized functions in the intricate processes of male reproductive physiology, particularly in the development of manchette and acrosome during sperm maturation.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
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.
