COL9A1; which is short for Collagen alpha-1(IX) chain; is a 921 aa. protein. It is a secreted protein; and exists in extracellular space and extracellular matrix. This protein is a heterotrimer of an alpha 1(IX); an alpha 2(IX) and an alpha 3(IX) chain.Each subunit is composed of three triple-helical domains interspersed with non-collagenous domains. The globular domain at the N-terminus of type IX collagen molecules represents the NC4 domain which may participate in electrostatic interactions with polyanionic glycosaminoglycans in cartilage. It ia a structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye.
Confezionamento: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4.<br/>Normally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.<br/>Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Stoccaggio: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8℃ for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20℃ for 3 months.
