Product Description
Cyclophilin-A Human Recombinant
Overview
PPIases catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and accelerate the folding of proteins. Cyclophilin-A is a cyclosporin binding-protein and may play a role in cyclosporin A-mediated immunosuppression. Cyclophilin-A can also interact with several HIV proteins, including p55 gag, Vpr, and capsid protein, and has been shown to be necessary for the formation of infectious HIV virions. Multiple pseudogenes that map to different chromosomes have been reported.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 650 nmol/min/mg, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that cleaves 1nmole of suc-AAFP-PNA per minute at 37°C in Tris-HCl pH8.0 using chymotrypsin.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | 1 mg/ml solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl 8.0, 20mM NaCl, 0.5mM DTT and 10% glycerol. |
