DCBLD1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

Discoidin, also known as DCBLD1, contains 1 CUB domain, 1 F5/8 type C domain and 1 LCCL domain. It is a 715 amino acid single-pass membrane protein. Discoidin has a discoidin I-like domain which shares a common C-terminal region of about 110 amino acids with the FA58C domain, but whose N-terminal 40 amino acids are much less conserved. Discoidin gene contains 31 distinct gt-ag introns. Transcription produces 18 different mRNAs, 16 alternatively spliced variants and 2 unspliced forms. Discoidin is expected to localize in various compartments.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human DCBLD1 consists of 436 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 48.4 KDa. It migrates as an approximately 65 KDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
