Introduction
Calumenin is a calcium-binding protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of mammalian tissues which plays a role in ER functions as protein folding and sorting. Calumenin belongs to a family of multiple EF-hand proteins (CERC) that include reticulocalbin, ERC-55, and Cab45 and the product of this gene. Calumenin binds 7 calcium ions having low affinity and takes part in such ER functions as protein folding and sorting.
Description
Calumenin Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 297 amino acids (20-315) and having a molecular mass of 35kDa. Calumenin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered clear solution.
Formulation
The Calumenin solution (0.5mg/1ml) contains phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4) and 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.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Safety Data Sheet
Biological Activity
The IC50 value is < 2.0nM. The inhibitory function of Cystatin 5 on protease activity of papain was measured by a fluorometric assay using Z-FR-AMC at pH 7.5 at 25C.
