Expression Region:

2-544aa

Subcellular Location:

Cytoplasm

Tissue Specificity:

Protein Length:

Full Length of Mature Protein

Pathway:

Mol. Weight:

74.0 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:

Microbiology

Function:

Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions (By similarity). This protein is implicated in the pathogenesis of chlamydial disease. Inflammation elicited by the 57 kDa antigen may damage tissue, with progression to scarring of conjunctival and fallopian tube mucosae, which respectively result in blindness and infertility.

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.

Protein Families:
