Anti-PEC1 | Plastid Envelope Channel 1

The two Arabidopsis POLLUX-like homologs PEC1 and PEC2 represent plastid envelope membrane cation channels with K + conductivity that are required for the stress triggered Ca 2+ release into the stroma.

The soluble domain 466 (M244 until stop codon, ≈ 64 kDa) was cloned into pET16b and transformed into BLR 21 for 467 expression in Escherichia coli UniProt: Q8VZM7-1, TAIR: At5g02940

Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
