Recombinant Human Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyltransferase, HEK

Synonyms    Phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase, Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, Phospholipid-cholesterol acyltransferase, LCAT.

Introduction    LCAT is an extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. LCAT is a essential enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins.

Recombinant Human Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyltransferase, HEKDescription    LCAT Human Recombinant produced in HEK is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 429 amino acids (25-440) which includes a 13 amino acid Flag Tag fused at N-terminus and having a total molecular mass of 48.5 kDa.

LCAT Human Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source    Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells

Physical Appearence    Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation    The LCAT protein was lyophilized from 0.4um filtered solution at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml containing 20mM Tris buffer, and 50mM NaCl, pH 7.5.

Recombinant Human Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyltransferase, HEKSolubility    Add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5 mg/mL and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. LCAT HEK is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.

Stability    Lyophilized LCAT although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18℃. Upon reconstitution LCAT should be stored at 4℃ between 2-7 days and for future use below -18℃.

For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).

Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
