ATP1B1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

ATP1B1 belongs to the family of Na/Kand H/K-ATPases beta chain proteins, and to the subfamily of Na+/K+ -ATPases. ATP1B1 is a subunit of Na/K-ATPase. Na/K-ATPase is an integral membrane protein responsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemical gradients of Na and K ions across the plasma membrane. Na/K-ATPase is composed of two subunits, a large catalytic subunit (alpha) and a smaller glycoprotein subunit (beta) . ATP1B1 regulates, through assembly of alpha/beta heterodimers, the number of sodium pumps transported to the plasma membrane. ATP1B1 is the non-catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of Naand Kions across the plasma membrane.

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 ATP1B1 comprises 261 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 30.4 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 40-47 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.
