Overview

Product name: Recombinant HIV gp120 (C-8His)
Description: Recombinant HIV 1 Envelope Glycoprotein Gp120 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Glu498 is expressed with a 8His tag at the C-terminus.
Accession: Q9DKG6
Molecular weight: 57 KDa
Apparent molecular weight: 90-140 KDa, reducing conditions
Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Redissolve: Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 
Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Delivery condition: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
Background: Envelope glycoprotein gp160 is single-pass type I membrane protein. The mature envelope protein (Env) consists of a homotrimer of non-covalently associated gp120-gp41 heterodimers. It is cleaved into the following 2 chains: glycoprotein 120 and transmembrane protein gp41. The resulting complex protrudes from the virus surface as a spike. The 17 amino acids long immunosuppressive region is present in many retroviral envelope proteins. Synthetic peptides derived from this relatively conserved sequence inhibit immune function in vitro and in vivo.
