LacI WT Protein, E.coli (His)

LacI, the lactose operon repressor, regulates lactose metabolism by binding to the operator region and repressing gene transcription. The presence of the inducer, allolactose, alters its binding affinity, derepressing the operon. As a homotetramer, LacI finely tunes lactose metabolism, orchestrating regulatory mechanisms in response to the cellular environment. LacI WT Protein, E.coli (His) is the recombinant E. coli-derived LacI WT protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-10*His labeled tag. The total length of LacI WT Protein, E.coli (His) is 360 a.a., with molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa.

LacI, the repressor of the lactose operon, plays a crucial role in the regulation of lactose metabolism. It functions by binding to the operator region and repressing the transcription of genes involved in lactose utilization. The binding affinity is altered in the presence of the inducer, allolactose, which leads to the derepression of the operon. As a homotetramer, LacI orchestrates the regulatory mechanisms that finely tune lactose metabolism in response to the cellular environment.

• 
  Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm sterile filtered 50 mM Tris-HCL, 300 mM NaCL, pH 8.0.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
