Karyopherin subunit alpha 2 (RAG cohort 1 importin alpha 1), RCH1, QIP2, IPOA1, SRP1 alpha, RAG cohort protein 1, importin alpha 1, importin subunit alpha-2, importin-alpha-P1, pendulin.
Introduction
KPNA2 belongs to the karyopherin alpha family. KPNA2 has a vital part in the nuclear import of proteins with a conventional nuclear localization signal (NLS).
In vitro, KPNA2 bound specifically and directly to substrates having a simple or bipartite NLS motif. KPNA2 stimulated docking of import substrates to the nuclear envelope and together with Ran reconstituted complete nuclear protein import.
Description
KPNA2 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 553 amino acids (1-529) and having a molecular mass of 60.5kDa.
KPNA2 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
E.coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The KPNA2 solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT and 20% glycerol.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
