Recombinant Human His6-Livin alpha Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity

>90%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by Colloidal Coomassie® Blue stain.

Activity

Recombinant Human Livin alpha is Ubiquitin (E3) ligase that functions downstream of a Ubiquitin-activating (E1) enzyme and a Ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzyme to conjugate Ubiquitin to substrate proteins. Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application.

Source

E. coli-derived human Livin protein
Contains a C-terminal 6-His tag.

Accession #

Q96CA5-1

Predicted Molecular Mass

34 kDa

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Reconstitution Calculator

Background: Livin

Livin alpha and Livin beta are two splice variants generated from the Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 7 (BIRC7) gene. Livin in a member of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) family that contains a single baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) and a C-terminal RING domain. Livin exerts an anti-apoptotic activity by inhibiting caspase's 3, 7, and 9, and by its E3 Ubiquitin ligase activity. In vitro, Livin directly inhibits caspase 3 and proteolytic activation of pro-caspase 9, and ubiquitinates recombinant DIABLO. Livin alpha is a splice variant that's 18 amino acids longer in the BIR-RING linking region than the Livin beta splice variant.
