YWHAH belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. 14-3-3 ETA is found in plants and mammals, and there is 99% identity to the mouse, rat and bovine orthologs. YWHAH gene contains a 7 base pair repeat sequence in its 5' UTR, and changes in the number of this repeat has been associated with early-onset schizophrenia.
14-3-3 eta is specific to the site of joint inflammation.
14-3-3 proteins are colocalized with Lewy bodies in Parkinson disease, though there is no specific staining for the 14-3-3 eta subunit.
There are 3 different isoforms types of 14-3-3: Beta, Gamma and ETA that are DAL-1/Protein 4.1B-binding proteins.
Description: YWHAH Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 246 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 28.2kDa.
The YWHAH is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance: Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Formulation: The YWHAH protein solution (1mg/ml) containing Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH7.4) 10% glycerol.
Stability: Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
