Introduction
Prosaposin (PSAP) is a precursor of 4 lysosomal saposin proteins (saposin A, B, C and D). Saposins are heat-stable glycoproteins which facilitate the catabolism of glycosphingolipids with short oligosaccharide groups. PSAP stimulates neurite outgrowth and increases choline acetyltransferase activity. Prosaposin exists both as a secretory protein and as an integral membrane protein and has neurotrophic activities. The secreted prosaposin is assumed to have additional functions in human milk, cerebrospinal fluid and seminal plasma. PSAP gene mutations are linked with Gaucher disease, Tay-Sachs disease, and metachromatic leukodystrophy.
Description
PSAP Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain (a.a 17-524) containing a total of 518 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 57.7kDa (calculated), though it migrates at approximately 65kDa on SDS PAGE, the PSAP is fused to a 2 a.a N-terminal linker, a 2 a.a C-terminal linker and a 6 a.a His tag at C-Terminus.
The Human PSAP is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
The Human PSAP is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
HEK 293.
Physical Appearance
Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Filtered (0.4µm) and lyophilized from 0.5mg/ml in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. PSAP is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.
Stability
Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
