Description
POMC produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 262 amino acids (27-267 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 28.9kDa (molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher). POMC is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
Pro-opiomelanocortin, POMC, LPH, MSH, NPP, POC, ACTH, CLIP.
Introduction
Pro-opiomelanocortin preproprotein (POMC) is a polypeptide hormone precursor which experiences extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. POMC regulates the corticosteroid production in the adrenal cortex. Furthermore, POMC is cleaved into ten hormone chains named NPP, g-MSH, ACTH, a-MSH, CLIP, Lipotropin b, Lipotropin g, b-MSH,b endorphin and Met-enkephalin. POMC gene defects are the cause of POMC deficiency, which is characterized by red hair and adrenal insufficiency.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
POMC protein solution (0.25mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.5), 1mM DTT, 50% glycerol, 0.1mM PMSF, 0.1M Imidazole and 0.2M NaCl.
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 85.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
