Recombinant Human STAR Protein(Sumo Tag)

Protein Tag: N-Sumo

Uniprot: P49675

Accession: P49675

Background: The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein permits the cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by mediating the transport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also called lipoid CAH. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13.

Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity

Sequence: Met1-Cys285

Purity: > 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with 5% Trehalose and 5% Mannitol.

Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.

Endotoxin: < 10 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Calculated MW: 44.2 kDa

Observed MW: 45-50 kDa
