RBP5, 1-135aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

RBP5 belongs to the Retinol-binding proteins family. Assessment of retinol-binding protein is used to determine visceral protein mass in nutritional studies related to health. RBP5 is higher expression in adult kidney and liver and to a lesser extent in adult and fetal spleen, adult lymph nodes and appendix, and fetal liver and kidney. It is strongly decreased in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. Recombinant human RBP5 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Can be stored at +4C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or -70C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
