DNA repair protein XRCC4 (XRCC4), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 1-336aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: N-terminal GST-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MERKISRIHL VSEPSITHFL QVSWEKTLES GFVITLTDGH SAWTGTVSES EISQEADDMA MEKGKYVGEL RKALLSGAGP ADVYTFNFSK ESCYFFFEKN LKDVSFRLGS FNLEKVENPA EVIRELICYC LDTIAENQAK NEHLQKENER LLRDWNDVQG RFEKCVSAKE ALETDLYKRF ILVLNEKKTK IRSLHNKLLN AAQEREKDIK QEGETAICSE MTADRDPVYD ESTDEESENQ TDLSGLASAA VSKDDSIISS LDVTDIAPSR KRRQRMQRNL GTEPKMAPQE NQLQEKENSR PDSSLPETSK KEHISAENMS LETLRNSSPE DLFDEI. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination. Binds to DNA and to DNA ligase IV (LIG4). The LIG4-XRCC4 complex is responsible for the NHEJ ligation step, and XRCC4 enhances the joining activity of LIG4. Binding of the LIG4-XRCC4 complex to DNA ends is dependent on the assembly of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK to these DNA ends.
