RAP Protein (OPPA01266)

Catalog No: OPPA01266 (Formerly GWB-BE09CE)

Size:5UG

Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Rat
• Product Format: Lyophilized TBS (pH 7.5), 0.1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide
• Host: E. Coli
• Additional Information: Special Note: Ligand binding to RAP is Ca2+ dependent and e.g. lipid receptors can be released from RAP by a buffer containing 10mM EDTA. Furthermore, buffers containing phosphate should be avoided (it would form precipitates with Ca2+).
• Reconstitution and Storage: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized RAP Rat in sterile 18M-omega-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/mL, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Lyophilized RAP Rat although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution RAP Rat should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0. 1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Purification: Proprietary chromatographic techniques.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Tag: 6xHis tag and 1xC-myc

Target Info

• Gene Symbol: rRAP
• Alias Symbols: Receptor Associated Protein, RAP, RAP Rat, Receptor Associated Protein Rat Recombinant
• Description of Target: Receptor-associated Protein (aka RAP) averts the GCM-mediated enhancement of axon growth- ApoE-containing lipoproteins which are known to bind to receptors of the LDLr superfamily. In the presence of RAP, GCM doesn't increase the axon extension rate in relation to base medium. Furthermore, the addition of RAP to the base medium doesn't change the rate of axon extension. This implies that the growth stimulatory effect of apoE-containing lipoproteins secreted by glial cells is mediated by the LDLr family receptors. RAP annuls the growth stimulatory effect of GCM.
