SLC30A8 Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

SLC30A8 Protein, a proton-coupled zinc ion antiporter, crucially regulates insulin secretion. Serving as a mediator, SLC30A8 enables zinc entry into pancreatic beta cell secretory granules, maintaining the required zinc concentration. This process finely tunes insulin release dynamics, emphasizing SLC30A8's pivotal role in physiological insulin secretion control and glucose homeostasis. SLC30A8 Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived SLC30A8 protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.

Description

SLC30A8 Protein, a proton-coupled zinc ion antiporter, crucially regulates insulin secretion. Serving as a mediator, SLC30A8 enables zinc entry into pancreatic beta cell secretory granules, maintaining the required zinc concentration. This process finely tunes insulin release dynamics, emphasizing SLC30A8's pivotal role in physiological insulin secretion control and glucose homeostasis. SLC30A8 Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived SLC30A8 protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.

Background

SLC30A8 Protein, identified as a proton-coupled zinc ion antiporter, plays a pivotal role in the intricate regulation of insulin secretion. Functioning as a mediator, SLC30A8 facilitates the entry of zinc into the lumen of pancreatic beta cell secretory granules. This process is crucial for maintaining the appropriate zinc concentration within the granules, ultimately influencing the dynamics of insulin release. By participating in the transport of zinc, SLC30A8 contributes to the finely tuned orchestration of cellular events within pancreatic beta cells, highlighting its significance in the physiological control of insulin secretion and, consequently, glucose homeostasis.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.15M NaCl, 0.05%BRIJ-78, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
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 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration). Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

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.
