Semaphorin 5A Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His Tag)

• Background:

  Semaphorins are secreted, transmembrane, and GPI-linked proteins, defined by cysteine-rich semaphorin protein domains, that have important roles in a variety of tissues. Humans have 2 semaphorins, Drosophila has five, and two are known from DNA viruses. Semaphorins are found in nematodes and crustaceans but not in non-animals. They are grouped into eight classes on the basis of phylogenetic tree analyses and the presence of additional protein motifs. Semaphorins have been implicated in diverse developmental processes such as axon guidance during nervous system development and regulation of cell migration. Semaphorin-5A, also known as Semaphorin-F, Sema F, SEMA5A and SEMAF, is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the semaphorin family. Semaphorin5A / SEMA5A contains one PSI domain, one Sema domain and seven TSP type-1 domains. It may act as positive axonal guidance cues. Semaphorin5A / SEMA5A is an axon regulator molecule and plays major roles during neuronal and vascular development. It plays an essential role in embryonic development. Semaphorin5A / SEMA5A induces endothelial cell migration from pre-existing vessels. It also plays a role in autism, reducing the ability of neurons to form connections with other neurons in certain brain regions.

  C-His

• Endotoxin:

  < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

• Purity:

  > 85 % 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 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.

• Molecular Weight:

  The recombinant mouse SEMA5A comprises 755 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 85.1 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 96 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

• 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.
