Recombinant Human HMGB1 Protein

High mobility group protein B1 is a member of the HMGB family consisting of three members; HMGB1; HMGB2 and HMGB3.It Contains 2 HMG box DNA-binding domains entitled box A and box B and It is a highly negative-charged C terminus. As a nuclear protein; HMGB1 stabilizes nucleosomes and allows bending of DNA that facilitates gene transcription which is essential for individual survival. Meanwhile; it is revealed that HMGB1 can also act as a cytokine extracellularlly and regulates monocyte; T cell; dendritic cell activities in inflammatory responses.

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.
