Ezrin is probably participating in connecting the cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. Like many proteins, ezrin is autoinhibited by a head-tail interaction.
Actin interaction
The C-ter binds to actin, PIP2 and membrane proteins, e.g. CD44.
Properties
Form
Lyophilized, ready-to-use.
Quantity per unit
2 × 50 µg
Buffer
100 mM KCl, 20 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 0.2 mM DTT and 5% sucrose, when reconstituted with 50 µl ultrapure water to obtain a 1.0 mg/ml solution.
Purity
>96% by scanning densitometry from Coomassie G-250 stained SDS-Gels.
Purification notes
Ezrin was expressed as a GST-tag fusion protein in E. coli. After purification by GST-Agarose and subsequent GST-tag cleavage, the pure protein was yielded by gel filtration chromatography.
Protein concentration
Determined by OD280 (0.1% = 0.963)
Storage instructions
Ezrin stored at −70 °C upon arrival will be stable in performance for at least 6 months from the date of purchase. The solubilized protein is kept on ice and should be stored at −20 °C in glycerol or CryoProtect (Cat.#: 6011-01). Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles.
Shipping conditions
At ambient temperature. Upon delivery store at −70 °C.
