S100A1 is a member of the S100 family of calcium binding proteins with EF-hand type Ca+2 binding motive. S100A1 (Calcium Binding Protein A1) is involved in the activation of sarcoplasmatic calcium release and the regulation of intermediate filament polymerization. S100A1 may function in stimulation of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, inhibition of microtubule assembly, and inhibition of protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation. Reduced expression of S100A1 has been implicated in cardiomyopathies.
S100 proteins are localized either in the cytoplasm or the nucleus of a wide range of cells. There are at least 13 members in the S100 gene family, which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21.

S100A1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 103 amino acids which include a 10 amino acid His Tag fused at N-terminus and having a total molecular mass of 11.66 kDa.
S100A1 Human Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.

White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

The S100A1 protein was lyophilized from 0.4μm filtered solution at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml containing 20mM Tris pH-7.5 and 50mM NaCl.

Add deionized water to a working concentration approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.

Lyophilized S100A1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution S100A1 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.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
