Recombinant Human Alpha Crystallin B (CRYAB)

Recombinant Human Alpha Crystallin B (CRYAB)

ORDERING INFORMATION

Formulation: Sterile-filtered colorless solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50mM NaCl and 1mM EDTA. Purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

BACKGROUND

Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A (acidic) and alpha-B (basic). Alpha crystallins are induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein family. They act as molecular chaperones. In addition, alpha crystallins have autokinase activity and play a role in intracellular architecture. Alpha crystalline B is expressed in many tissues and is associated with many neurological diseases.
