SLC15A2 Protein, Human (sf9, His, StrepⅡ, FLAG)

Cat. No.: HY-P702025
Data Sheet Handling Instructions Technical Support

The SLC15A2 protein is a proton-coupled amino acid transporter that prefers dipeptides and transports oligopeptides containing 2 to 4 amino acids. The stoichiometric ratio of protons to peptides is 2:1 or 3:1, which helps the kidneys absorb dipeptides and tripeptides. SLC15A2 Protein, Human (sf9, His, Strep, FLAG) is the recombinant human-derived SLC15A2 protein, expressed by sf9 insect cells , with N-Strep, C-Flag, N-8*His labeled tag.

Description

The SLC15A2 protein is a proton-coupled amino acid transporter that prefers dipeptides and transports oligopeptides containing 2 to 4 amino acids. The stoichiometric ratio of protons to peptides is 2:1 or 3:1, which helps the kidneys absorb dipeptides and tripeptides. SLC15A2 Protein, Human (sf9, His, Strep, FLAG) is the recombinant human-derived SLC15A2 protein, expressed by sf9 insect cells , with N-Strep, C-Flag, N-8*His labeled tag.

Background

SLC15A2 protein, a proton-coupled amino-acid transporter, demonstrates a preference for transporting oligopeptides containing 2 to 4 amino acids, with a notable affinity for dipeptides. Its transport activity involves a proton to peptide stoichiometry of 2:1 or 3:1, facilitating the absorption of circulating di- and tripeptides from the glomerular filtrate within the kidney. Beyond its role in peptide transport, SLC15A2 exhibits versatility by transporting various substances, including beta-lactam antibiotics like cefadroxil, other antiviral and anticancer drugs, the dipeptide-like aminopeptidase inhibitor bestatin, and carnosine. Notably, its involvement in innate immunity extends to promoting the detection of microbial pathogens by NOD-like receptors (NLRs), and it mediates the transport of bacterial peptidoglycans across cellular membranes, such as muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a ligand for NOD2, particularly in macrophages.

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 the storage concentration after dilution is not less than 100 μg/mL. 3. Aliquot at least 20 μL per tube. 4. After aliquoting, store it frozen at a temperature ranging from -20ºC to -80ºC, and it can be preserved for 3 to 6 months.

  • 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 incorporated into the protein storage solution.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
