RBP1 Protein, Human

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

RBP1 Protein, a cytoplasmic retinol-binding protein, functions in retinol uptake, storage, and retinoid homeostasis by accepting retinol from the transport protein STRA6. The interaction between RBP1 and STRA6 occurs specifically in the retinol-free apoprotein state. RBP1 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived RBP1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Biological Activity

Description

RBP1 Protein, a cytoplasmic retinol-binding protein, functions in retinol uptake, storage, and retinoid homeostasis by accepting retinol from the transport protein STRA6. The interaction between RBP1 and STRA6 occurs specifically in the retinol-free apoprotein state. RBP1 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived RBP1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Background

Retinol-Binding Protein 1 (RBP1) is a cytoplasmic protein involved in retinoid homeostasis, acting as a key player in the uptake and storage of retinol. RBP1 functions by accepting retinol from the transport protein STRA6. In its retinol-free apoprotein state, RBP1 interacts with STRA6, facilitating the transfer of retinol and contributing to the regulation of cellular retinoid levels. These interactions and functions highlight the crucial role of RBP1 in maintaining retinol homeostasis and underscore its significance in cellular processes associated with retinoid metabolism.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

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.
