Catalogue Number | PRO-520 |
Synonyms | Desmin, DES, CSM1, CSM2, CMD1I, FLJ12025, FLJ39719, FLJ41013, FLJ41793. |
Introduction | Desmin is a muscle-specific class III intermediate filament. Homopolymers of this protein form a stable intracytoplasmic filamentous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies. |
Description | Desmin Human Recombinant having a Molecular mass of 53,539 Dalton. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation | Desmin was lyophilized from a 1mg/ml solution containing 30mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 9.5M urea, 2mM DTT, 2mM EDTA and 10mM methylammonium chloride. |
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Desmin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability | Lyophilized Desmin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Desmin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Applications | Protein standard in 1D and 2D SDS gelelectrophoresis
Immunoassays
Immunization. |
