The recombinant rat ALCAM comprises 511 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 57.5 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 68-91 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
Stability & Storage
Store at 4℃ for up to twelve months from date of receipt. After re-dissolution, aliquot and store at -80℃ for up to twelve months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Product Description
This Rat CD166/ALCAM overexpression lysate was created in HEK293 Cells and intented for use as a Western blot (WB) positive control. Purification of CD166/ALCAM protein (Cat: 80221-R08H) from the overexpression lysate was verified.
Expression Host
HEK293 Cells
Sequence Information
A DNA sequence encoding the rat ALCAM (O35112) (Met1-Lys527) was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Preparation Method
Cell lysate was prepared by homogenization of the over-expressed cells in ice-cold modified RIPA Lysis Buffer with cocktail of protease inhibitors (Sigma). Cell debris was removed by centrifugation. Protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay (Bio-Rad protein assay, Microplate Standard assay). The cell lysate was boiled for 5 min in 1 x SDS loading buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 12.5% glycerol, 1% sodium dodecylsulfate, 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing 5% b-mercaptoethanol, and lyophilized.
1. Centrifuge the tube for a few seconds and ensure the pellet at the bottom of the tube.
2. Re-dissolve the pellet using 200μL pure water and boil for 2-5 min.
Sample Buffer
1 X Sample Buffer (1 X modified RIPA buffer+1 X SDS loading buffer).
Application
Western Blot (WB)Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
