Transthyretin is a highly conserved homotetrameric protein, mainly synthetized by the liver and the choroid plexus of brain. The carrier role of TTR is well-known; however, many other functions have emerged, namely in the nervous system. TTR aggregates are responsible for many amyloidosis such as familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy. Normal TTR can also aggregate and deposit in the heart of old people and in preeclampsia placental tissue.

| Construction |
Gly21-Glu147
|
| Protein Purity |
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE; > 95% as determined by HPLC
|
| 分子量 |
14.80 kDa (predicted). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 16-20 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
|
| Endotoxin |
< 1 EU/μg by the LAL method.
|
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a solution filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, containing PBS (pH 7.4). Typically, 8% trehalose is incorporated as a protective agent before lyophilization.
|
| Reconstitution |
Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in distilled water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/ml. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.
|
| Stability & Storage |
It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at-80℃. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°c to -80'c for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.
|
| Shipping |
In general, Lyophilized powders are shipping with blue ice.
