RBP7, Human

(Retinoid-binding protein 7, Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 4, CRABP4, CRBP4, Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein IV, CRABP-IV, RBP7, MGC70641.)

RBP7 is a member of a superfamily of small cytoplasmic proteins which interact with hydrophobic ligands. RBP7 is cytoplasmic protein which, like CRBP I and CRBP II, forms ?-barrel structures and participates in the intracellular transport of retinol. RBP7 is a newly identified cellular retinol carrier, which is expressed in the kidney, heart and transverse colon in humans.

RBP7 Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 154 amino acids (1-134 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.6kDa. The RBP7 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purity: Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: Escherichia Coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: The RBP7 solution (0.5 mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 0.2M NaCl, 2mM DTT and 20% glycerol.
