Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol.If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Tag Info: N-terminal 10xHis-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged
Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4℃ for up to one week.
Molecular Weight: 11.8 kDa
Gene Names: N/A
Organism: Leiurus hebraeus (Deathstalker scorpion) (Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus)
Source: E.coli
Expression Region: 1-66aa
Protein Length: Full Length
Target Protein Sequence: VRDGYIAKPENCAHHCFPGSSGCDTLCKENGGTGGHCGFKVGHGTACWCNALPDKVGIIVDGVKCH
Endotoxin: Not test.
Relevance: Alpha toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. This toxin is highly toxic to insects and mice, and inhibits the binding of alpha-toxin to cockroach neuronal membranes.
