PLTP proteins are centrally involved in lipid metabolism, mediating the transfer of phospholipids and free cholesterol between lipoproteins and HDL. This includes the exchange of various molecules such as diacylglycerol, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylcholine. PLTP Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived PLTP protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

PLTP proteins are centrally involved in lipid metabolism, mediating the transfer of phospholipids and free cholesterol between lipoproteins and HDL. This includes the exchange of various molecules such as diacylglycerol, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylcholine. PLTP Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived PLTP protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

PLTP Protein assumes a central role in lipid metabolism by mediating the transfer of phospholipids and free cholesterol from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (low-density lipoproteins or LDL and very low-density lipoproteins or VLDL) into high-density lipoproteins (HDL), as well as facilitating the exchange of phospholipids among triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. This extensive lipid transfer encompasses various molecules, including diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, cerebroside, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine. PLTP further plays a crucial role in remodeling HDL, influencing its size and composition. Additionally, the protein is a key player in the uptake of cholesterol from peripheral cells and tissues, facilitating its transport to the liver for degradation and excretion. Notably, two distinct forms of PLTP exist in plasma: an active form capable of transferring phosphatidylcholine from phospholipid vesicles to HDL, and an inactive form lacking this capability, contributing to the nuanced regulation of lipid homeostasis.

Help & FAQs
  • How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

    1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss. 2. Taking 10 μg as an example, first add 20 μL of reconstituted solution provided by MCE and use a pipette to gently resuspend the lyophilized protein until it is fully dissolved.. (For most proteins, the reconstitution solution we provide is sterile water. If a diluent other than water is required, it will be indicated in the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA).). 3. Add an additional 80 μL of buffer/culture medium containing carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% trehalose), and then use a pipette to gently mix until uniform. The final concentration is should not be lower than 100 μg/mL. 4. Aliquot at least 20 μL per tube. 5. After aliquoting, store it frozen at a temperature ranging from -20ºC to -80ºC, and it can be preserved for 3 to 6 months.

  • How should solution-form recombinant proteins be stored?

    1. The product can be stored in its original form and diluted as needed upon use. 2. Alternatively, dilute with a buffer/culture medium containing a carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% alginate), mix well by pipetting, and ensure that

  • Why is it necessary to add carrier proteins?

    Carrier proteins are commonly added to enhance the stability of recombinant proteins, preventing them from adhering to the walls of the container during freezing or thawing processes. Plastic tubes have a certain adsorptive capacity for proteins, which may lead to difficulty in separating the protein from the tube walls, resulting in a decrease in the actual concentration of the protein in the solution and thus affecting its activity. To minimize such losses, it is recommended to add a commonly used carrier protein solution prior to the long-term storage of recombinant protein products.

  • Carrier protein types and options?

    In cases where the carrier protein is not expected to influence the experimental outcomes, an appropriate carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin), 5% HSA (Human Serum Albumin), 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), or 5% trehalose, can be incorpo
