Expression Region:

184-638aa

Subcellular Location:

Periplasm, Secreted, cell wall

Tissue Specificity:

Protein Length:

Full Length of Mature Protein

Pathway:

Mol. Weight:

65.6 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:

Mediates digestion of the cell walls of the 2 mating type gametes during mating as a necessary prelude to cell fusion. This enzyme acts specifically on the framework proteins (inner wall) of the cell wall, cleaving several model peptides at specific sites.

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:

Peptidase M11 family
