Recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Metallothionein (mymT)

Recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Metallothionein (mymT)

• CAS Number: 9000-83-3
• Gene Name: mymT
• UniProt: P9WK09
• Expression Region: 7-53aa
• Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
• Target Sequence: TNYEAGTLLTCSHEGCGCRVRIEVPCHCAGAGDAYRCTCGDELAPVK
• Tag: C-terminal 6xHis-tagged
• Source: Yeast
• Field of Research: Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling
• Assay Type: Developed Protein
• Relevance: Metallothioneins are small proteins that have a high content of cysteine residues wich allow them to bind heavy metal ions through clusters of thiolate bonds. MymT binds up to seven ions of Cu (+), with a preference for four to six Cu (+) ions, in a solvent-shielded core. MymT protects M.tuberculosis from copper toxicity.
• Purity: Greater than 95% 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: 6.4 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℃.
