SKU:: 364221
Application:: WB
Purity:: Purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Recombinant protein corresponding to Met1-Ala61 of mouse MT1, expressed in E. coli.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: In man, metallothioneins are encoded by at least 10 to 12 genes separated into 2 groups designated MT-I and MT-II. Masters et al. (1994) noted that, unlike MT-I and MT-II, which are expressed in most organs, MT-III expression appears to be restricted to the brain, and MT-IV is only expressed in certain stratified squamous epithelia. Class I metallothioneins contain 2 metal-binding domains: four divalent ions are chelated within cluster A of the alpha domain and are coordinated via cysteinyl thiolate bridges to 11 cysteine ligands. Cluster B, the corresponding region within the beta domain, can ligate three divalent ions to 9 cysteines. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
