Secretin, Alpha (SCT) Recombinant Protein

Erythrocyte spectrin is the main component of the red cell membrane skeleton responsible for the shape and physical properties of red cells. Spectrin is composed of 2 subunits alpha and beta (280 and 246kD respectively). The human erithroid a-spectrin (2418 amino acids) consists of 22 repeating segments of about 106 amino acids in length. This protein was demonstrated to be a specific substrate for ubiquitina tion in vitro and in vivo. The main ubiquitination site on human a-spectrin was identified in the lysine 27 of the repeating segment 17 by sitedirected mutagenesis. Cell-free experiments using radiolabeled, biotinylated or native ubiquitin and cellular lysates from rabbit retyculocytes, human erythrocytes or k562 cells, showed that only monoubiquitination occurs at this site.

Recombinant fusion protein: Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) and a fragment of human a-spectrin (from Lysine 1601 to Leucine 1818) containing repeat 17 and the ubiquitination target lysine 27. The total molecular weight of the fusion protein is 52.4kD.

Small volumes of Sct recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
