Subcellular Location:

Tissue Specificity:

After incorporation from serum via a specific receptor, it is cleaved into four fragments, heavy and light chain lipovitellins, phosphovitin and YGP40, and YGP40 is released into the yolk plasma before or during compartmentation of lipovitellin-phosvitin complex into the yolk granule.

Protein Length:

Partial

Pathway:

Mol. Weight:

74.9 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:

Signal Transduction

Function:

Precursor of the major egg-yolk proteins that are sources of nutrients during early development of oviparous organisms.; FUNCTION

Involvement in disease:

Relevance:

Precursor of the major egg-yolk proteins that are sources of nutrients during early development of oviparous organisms.Phosvitin is believed to be of importance in sequestering calcium, iron and other cations for the developing bryo.

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.
