Introduction
RBP1 is a member of the calycin superfamily and fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. RBP1 is the carrier protein which takes part in the transport of retinol (vitamin A alcohol) from the liver storage site to peripheral tissue. Additionally, RBP1 performs as a bridging molecule to recruit histone deacetylases (HDACs) which is a forceful regulator of gene expression. RBP1 is found in almost all the tissues with higher expression in pancreas, adrenal gland and pituitary gland, fetal liver and ***** ovary.
Description
RBP1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 220 amino acids (1-197 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 24.7kDa.
RBP1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
E.coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
RBP1 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 200mM NaCl, 2mM DTT and 20% glycerol.
