FKBP14 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

FKBP14 belongs to the FK506-binding protein family. It contains 2 EF-hand domains and one PPIase FKBP-type domain. FKBP14 can be detected in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum where it is thought to accelerate the folding of proteins during protein synthesis. Truncation of the amino-terminus of FKBP14 significantly decreases peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity, therefore implicating that the PPIase FKBP-type domain must be located at the N-terminus. Defects in FKBP14 can cause Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with progressive kyphoscoliosis, myopathy, and hearing loss. A syndrome with features of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome types VIA and VIB on the one hand, and the collagen VI-related congenital myopathies Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy and Bethlem myopathy on the other hand.

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 FKBP14 consists of 199 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 22.9 KDa. It migrates as an approximately 25 and 27 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.
