Recombinant Human IFI30 Protein (His Tag)

IFI30 belongs to the GILT family. This family includes the two characterised human gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT) sequences: P13284 and Q9UL08. It also contains several other eukaryotic putative proteins with similarity to GILT. The aligned region contains three conserved cysteine residues. In addition, the two GILT sequences possess a C-X (2) -C motif that is shared by some of the other sequences in the family. This motif is thought to be associated with disulphide bond reduction. IFI30 is a lysosomal thiol reductase that can reduce protein disulfide bonds. It facilitates the generation of MHC class II-restricted epitodes from disulfide bond-containing antigen by the endocytic reduction of disulfide bonds. It also facilitates MHC class I-restricted recognition of exogenous antigens containing disulfide bonds by CD8+ T-cells or crosspresentation. IFI30 may facilitate the complete unfolding of proteins destined for lysosomal degradation and plays an important role in antigen processing.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
