Plays an important role in the cytoplasmic envelopment of tegument proteins and capsids during the assembly and egress processes. Participates also in viral entry at the fusion step probably by regulating the core fusion machinery.

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

"Interaction between the human cytomegalovirus tegument proteins UL94 and UL99 is essential for virus replication." Phillips S.L., Cygnar D., Thomas A., Bresnahan W.A.J. Virol. 86:9995-10005 (2012)

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
