• Assay Type: Developed Protein
• Relevance: Mediates transposition of transposon Tn5 by a 'cut and paste' mechanism. First, the monomeric transposase binds the 19 bp inverted DNA repeats flanking the transposon. Then, dimerization of the DNA-bound transposase creates a synaptic DNA complex. After nicking of the first DNA strand, excision of the transposon proceeds through a series of intermediates. The transposase then mediates the insertion of the transposon at a new site by strand transfer. The activity of the wild-type transposase is very low, and is further inhibited by dimerization with the transposase inhibitor (inh).
• Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Activity: Not Test
• Length: Full Length
• 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.

• 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℃.
