A DNA sequence encoding the human UFC1 protein (Q9Y3C8) (Met 1-ASN 167) was expressed with a His tag at the C-terminus.
Accession
Q9Y3C8
Protein construction
UFC1 (1-167)His
Source
E.coli
Bio Activity
Testing in progress.
Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4, 5% Trehalose, 5% mannitol.
Species
Human
Background
E1-like enzyme which specifically catalyzes the second step in ufmylation. Accepts the ubiquitin-like modifier UFM1 from the E1 enzyme UBA5 and forms an intermediate with UFM1 via a thioester linkage. Ufmylation is involved in reticulophagy (also called ER-phagy) induced in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
Usage guide
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped with blue ice. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid which are shipped with dry ice.
Storage
Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃ It is recommended that aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
