Protein description |
Plasma gelsolin has a molecular mass of 83kDa and consists of six homologous subdomains (S1-S6). Gelsolin is a Ca++-dependent lipid binding actin regulatory protein, possessing three different actin modulating activities: severing of F-actin, nucleation of actin polymerization and capping of filaments barbed end. |
|
Actin interaction |
Ca++-sensitive actin capping, nucleating and severing protein. Kd actin-binding = 50nM (barbed end). |
Properties
|
|
|
|
Form |
Lyophilized, ready-to-use. |
|
Quantity |
2x50 µg |
|
Buffer |
10mM Imidazole pH 7.0, 0.2mM DTT, 0.2mM EGTA, 2mM NaN3 and 1% disaccharides, when reconstituted with 50 µl ultrapure water to obtain a 1.0 mg/ml solution. |
|
Purity & Activity |
Purity: >92% by scanning densitometry from Coomassie G-250 stained SDS-Gels.
Fragmentation activity: The fragmentation activity of gelsolin was determined by Ostwald viscometry at 25°C. The specific viscosity of F-actin (1mg/ml) is reduced by ~65% after addition of gelsolin at a molar ratio of 1 : 100. |
|
Purification notes |
Purified from porcine plasma. GPC, IEXC. |
|
Protein concentration |
Determined by Biuret method with actin (skeletal muscle, rabbit) as reference. |
|
Storage instructions |
Gelsolin is 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 used within 5 days. Storage in glycerol at -20°C results in a significant decrase of the activity, and has to determined individually. |
|
Shipping conditions |
At ambient temperature. Upon delivery store at -70°C. |
|
Remarks |
For Use in Research only. Not for Use in Human or Veterinary Diagnostical or Therapeutical Applications. |
|
CAS no. |
