Scaffold protein which forms a transitory spherical honeycomb lattice providing curvature and rigidity to the convex membrane of crescent and immature virions (IV) . This association occurs concomitantly with viral membrane formation. Targeted by the drug rifampicin, which prevents the formation of this lattice, and hence virus morphogenesis. In the presence of rifampicin, irregularly shaped membranes that lack the honeycomb layer accumulate around areas of electron-dense viroplasm. This layer is lost from virions during maturation from IV to mature virion (MV), through the proteolysis of A17 N-terminus.

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.

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.

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.
