BNIP3L Protein, Human, Recombinant

• Background:

  The deletion of BNIP3L results in retention of mitochondria during lens fiber cell remodeling, and that deletion of BNIP3L also results in the retention of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. BNIP3L localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of wild-type newborn mouse lenses and is contained within mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus isolated from adult mouse liver. As the cells become packed with keratin bundles, Bnip3L expression triggers mitophagy to rid the cells of the last remaining 'living' characteristic, thus completing the march from 'living' to 'dead' within the hair follicle. during retinal development tissue hypoxia triggers HIF1A/HIF-1 stabilization, resulting in increased expression of the mitophagy receptor BNIP3L/NIX. BNIP3L-dependent mitophagy results in a metabolic shift toward glycolysis essential for RGC neurogenesis. BNIP3L could be a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke

  Please contact us for more information.

• Purity:

  > 88 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  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.

• Form:

  Lyophilized

• Buffer:

  Lyophilized from sterile 50mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, pH 8.0 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.

• Molecular Weight:

  The recombinant human BNIP3L consists of 186 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 20.4 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 36 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

• Storage 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.
