Summary

Native human prealbumin, also known as transthyretin, is a homotetrameric serum and cerebrospinal fluid protein which acts as a carrier for the thyroid hormone thyroxine. Each monomer is a 127 amino acid polypeptide. Prealbumin is synthesised principally in the liver and choroid plexus from where it is secreted into the serum and cerebrospinal fluid respectively.

Product Details

Target Species: Human
Product Form: Purified protein from human serum - lyophilised.
Reconstitution: Reconstitute with 1 ml sterile PBS.
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.
Buffer Solution: 0.02M Ammonium bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃).
Preservative Stabilisers: None present
Purity: >96%

SDS-PAGE confirms prealbumin as the major component. Under certain conditions dimer and monomer subunits can be seen. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis shows one band only with a higher electrophoretic mobility than albumin.
Approx. Protein Concentrations: Total protein concentration 1.0 mg/ml after reconstitution.
Molecular Weight: 60 kDa (tetramer)

Storage Information

Storage: Store at -20^oC only.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life: Please see label for expiry date.
