Acts as an ADP-ribosylating toxin, which may transfer the ADP-ribosyl group from NAD+ to specific amino acids in target proteins. Elicits cytopathic effects in mammalian cells, such as disorganization and disruption of respiratory epithelial integrity in tracheal epithelium and vacuolization in the cytoplasm of CHO and HeLa cells.

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.

"ADP-ribosylating and vacuolating cytotoxin of Mycoplasma pneumoniae represents unique virulence determinant among bacterial pathogens." Kannan T.R., Baseman J.B. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 103:6724-6729 (2006)

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.
