GPX7 Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc Tag)

GPX7 gene contains 3 distinct gt-ag introns. Transcription produces 4 different mRNAs, 3 alternatively spliced variants, and 1 unspliced form. There are 5 validated alternative polyadenylation sites. The mRNAs appear to differ by overlapping exons with different boundaries. GPX7 is an enzyme. It has molecular functions (glutathione peroxidase activity, oxidoreductase activity) and to localize in various compartments (extracellular space, extracellular region) . GPX7 gene has been proposed to participate in pathways (Arachidonic acid metabolism, Glutathione metabolism), and processes (oxidation-reduction, response to oxidative stress) . GPX7 modulates the bone turnover after ovariectomy in rats, it does not compensate for the action of estrogen after ovariectomy in rats. It has been shown that three mAbs (GPX7, GPX22, and GPZ35) inhibit IL-6-mediated biological responses such as Ig production in a human B cell line and proliferative responses of a human Lennert's lymphoma-derived T cell line, a human myeloma cell line, and a mouse pro-B cell line-derived transfectant expressing human gp130.

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 GPX7/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 408 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 46.1 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately kDa 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.
