Mol. Weight:

23.7 kDa

Purity:

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

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.

Research Areas:

Others

Function:

Has strong anti-HIV activity against T-tropic strains of HIV-1 and weaker activity against M-tropic strains of HIV-1. Inhibits HIV-1 fusion and infection of CD4 LTR beta-gal cells in vitro. Inhibits fusion of HIV infected CEM-SS cells with uninfected CEM-SS cells, and fusion of HIV-1 Env expressing HL2/3 cells with CD4 LTR beta-gal cells. Binds to HIV gp120, HIV gp160 and to a lesser extent HIV gp41. Binding to HIV gp120 is glycosylation dependent. Binds with high specificity to the tetrasaccharide Man-alpha-1,2-Man-alpha-1,6-Man-alpha-1,6-Man and also binds the higher-order oligosaccharides oligomannose 8 and oligomannose 9. Does not bind to monosaccharides, complex or hybrid N-linked oligosaccharides or chitin.

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.
