Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor (MC1R)-VLPs, human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: Mammalian cell. Expression Region: 1-317aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: C-terminal 10xHis-tagged(This tag can be tested only under denaturing conditions). Target Protein Sequence: MAVQGSQRRL LGSLNSTPTA IPQLGLAANQ TGARCLEVSI SDGLFLSLGL VSLVENALVV ATIAKNRNLH SPMYCFICCL ALSDLLVSGS NVLETAVILL LEAGALVARA AVLQQLDNVI DVITCSSMLS SLCFLGAIAV DRYISIFYAL RYHSIVTLPR ARRAVAAIWV ASVVFSTLFI AYYDHVAVLL CLVVFFLAML VLMAVLYVHM LARACQHAQG IARLHKRQRP VHQGFGLKGA VTLTILLGIF FLCWGPFFLH LTLIVLCPEH PTCGCIFKNF NLFLALIICN AIIDPLIYAF HSQELRRTLK EVLTCSW. Purity: The purity information is not available for VLPs proteins. Endotoxin: n/a. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Lyophilized powder. Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered PBS, 6% Trehalose, pH 7.4. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein indeionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.Aliquot for long-term storage at -80 °C. Solubilize for 60 minutes at room temperature with occasional gentle mixing. Avoid vigorous shaking or vortexing. 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: The VLPs are expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293).Mix the sample gently by repeatedly pipetting it up and down. Do not vortex.Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended.Store the protein at -20 °C/-80 °C upon receiving it, and ensure to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, otherwise, it will affect the protein activity. The immunization strategy should be optimized (antigen dose, regimen and adjuvant). Relevance: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes. Reference: n/a. Function: nan
