TPM4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The TPM4 protein binds actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells and critically regulates calcium-dependent muscle contraction with the help of the vertebrate troponin complex. In smooth muscle cells, TPM4 interacts with caldesmon and contributes to contraction regulation. TPM4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived TPM4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The TPM4 protein binds actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells and critically regulates calcium-dependent muscle contraction with the help of the vertebrate troponin complex. In smooth muscle cells, TPM4 interacts with caldesmon and contributes to contraction regulation. TPM4 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived TPM4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

TPM4 protein exhibits binding specificity to actin filaments in both muscle and non-muscle cells, playing a pivotal role, particularly in conjunction with the troponin complex, in the calcium-dependent regulation of striated muscle contraction in vertebrates. In smooth muscle cells, TPM4 contributes to the regulation of contraction through interaction with caldesmon. In non-muscle cells, TPM4 is implicated in stabilizing actin filaments within the cytoskeleton. Additionally, TPM4 has a calcium-binding capacity, as demonstrated in studies. It forms homodimers and heterodimers, the latter composed of an alpha chain (TPM1, TPM3, or TPM4) and a beta chain (TPM2), showcasing its versatility in molecular configurations. The multifaceted interactions of TPM4 underscore its essential roles in both muscle contraction and cytoskeletal dynamics across diverse cellular contexts.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 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 PBS. 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.
