MMGT1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

MMGT1 (Membrane Magnesium Transporter 1, also known as EMC5 and TMEM32) is a Protein Coding gene. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. The encoded protein belongs to the membrane magnesium transporter (TC 1.A.67) family which is a group of magnesium transporters that are part of the TOG superfamily. It mediates Mg (2+) transport. MMGT1 is described as having 335 amino acids and five TMSs with an N-terminal cleavage site and some phosphorylation sites. It is widely expressed in the thyroid, bone marrow, and other tissues. Diseases associated with MMGT1 include Cercarial Dermatitis. Among its related pathways are the Transport of glucose and other sugars, bile salts and organic acids, metal ions and amine compounds, and Miscellaneous transport and binding events.

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 MMGT1 comprises 86 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 10.1 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 23-29 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

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.
