Recombinant Leiurus hebraeus Beta-mammal/insect toxin Lqhb1

Recombinant Leiurus hebraeus Beta-mammal/insect toxin Lqhb1

• CAS Number: 9000-83-3
• UniProt: P0C5H3
• Expression Region: 20-85aa
• Organism: Leiurus hebraeus (Deathstalker scorpion) (Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus)
• Target Sequence: DNGYLLNKATGCKVWCVINNASCNSECKLRRGNYGYCYFWKLACYCEGAPKSELWAYATNKCNGKL
• Tag: N-terminal 10xHis-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged
• Source: Baculovirus
• Field of Research: Others
• Assay Type: Developed Protein
• Relevance: Beta toxins bind voltage-independently at site-4 of sodium channels and shift the voltage of activation toward more negative potentials thereby affecting sodium channel activation and promoting spontaneous and repetitive firing. Competes, with apparent high affinity, with anti-insect and anti-mammalian beta-toxins for binding to cockroach and rat brain synaptosomes, respectively. Also competes with an anti-mammalian alpha-toxin on binding to rat brain sodium channels. Has a weak effect on cardiac sodium channels and a marked effect on rat brain and skeletal muscle sodium channels.
• Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Activity: Not Test
• Length: Full Length of Mature Protein
• Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder
• Buffer: 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.
• Reconstitution: 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℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
• Molecular Weight: 11.5 kDa

• Storage Conditions: 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℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.
