Introduction
Prothymosin alpha (PTMA) is a part of the pro/parathymosin family. PTMA mediates immune function by conferring resistance to some opportunistic infections.
Description
PTMA Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 133 amino acids (1-110) and having a molecular mass of 14.5 kDa.
PTMA is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The PTMA solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl and 10% glycerol.
