LBP Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Lipopolysaccharide binding protein ( LBP ) is a glycoprotein that is synthesized principally by hepatocytes. LBP is a trace plasma protein that binds to the lipid A moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides ( LPSs ). LBP binds directly to the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and purified aggregates of extracted endotoxin and catalyzes the delivery of endotoxin to the membrane ( mCD14, GPI-Linked ) and soluble ( sCD14 ) forms of CD14, thereby markedly increasing host cell sensitivity to endotoxin. LBP efficiently catalyzes the transfer of individual molecules of endotoxin to (s)CD14 only when LBP–endotoxin aggregates are formed in the presence of albumin. In the presence of EDTA, LBP binding promotes further disaggregation of endotoxin. LBP binding does not have such drastic effects under more physiological conditions, but may still induce more subtle topological rearrangements of endotoxin.

Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile 20mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, 0. 05mM EDTA, pH 8.0. Pleasecon tact usfor any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0. 01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.
Reconstitution	A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
Stability & Storage	Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping	In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
