Description
| Product Name: | HIV-1 TAT Clade-A Recombinant Protein |
| Product Code: | RPPB5588 |
| Size: | 10µg |
| Species: | HIV-1 |
| Target: | TAT Clade-A |
| Source: | Escherichia Coli |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | Lyophilized with 10% glycerol. |
| Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized HIV-1 TAT in sterile 18M?-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized HIV-1 TAT although stable at room temperature for 1 week, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution HIV-1 TAT should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Purity: | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| UniProt Code: | 37693985 |
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) regulatory Tat protein plays an essential role in viral replication (Jones KA, 1994) and infectivity (Arya SK, 1985; Fisher AG, 1986). In addition, during acute infection, Tat is released extracellularly by infected cells (Chang HC, 1997; Ensoli B, 1990) and is taken up by neighboring cells where it transactivates viral replication (Ensoli B, 1993) and increases virus infectivity. HIV-1 Tat activates transcription of HIV-1 viral genes by inducing phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Tat can also disturb cellular metabolism by inhibiting proliferation of antigen-specific T lymphocytes and by inducing cellular apoptosis. Tat-induced apoptosis of T-cells is attributed, in part, to the distortion of microtubules polymerization. LIS1 is a microtubule-associated protein that facilitates microtubule polymerization.
HIV-1 TAT Clade-A Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain having the Accession number: AY194047.1.
