Recombinant D. melanogaster Importin subunit alpha(Pen), partial

Drosophila melanogaster

Pen

Pen; CG4799; Importin subunit alpha; Karyopherin subunit alpha; Pendulin

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus in a cell cycle-dependent manner.

Importin alpha family

Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif. Promotes docking of import substrates to the nuclear envelope. Seems to act as a cytosolic receptor for both simple and bipartite NLS motifs.; It is required for normal cell proliferation and may serve as an adapter molecule to form complexes with other proteins. May act as a tumor suppressor in hematopoietic cells. May play a role in the nuclear import of karyophilic proteins and some of these may be required for the normal transmission and function of proliferative signals in the cells.

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 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Delivery time may differ from different purchasing ways or locations, please kindly consult us for specific delivery times.

Store at -20 °C/-80 °C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for multiple use.

The shelf life is related to many factors, including storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature, and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C.

Repeated freezing and thawing are not recommended.

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week.
