Introduction
Frataxin is a mitochondrial iron binding protein that is part of the FRATAXIN family.
Frataxin functions in regulating mitochondrial iron transport and respiration.
The expansion of intronic trinucleotide repeat GAA results in Friedreich ataxia. Frataxin plays a role in iron homeostasis. Frataxin is an anti-apoptotic protein which prevents mitochondrial damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
Description
Frataxin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 190 amino acids (42-210 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 21.1 kDa.
The Frataxin is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The Frataxin solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT and 10% 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 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
