• Relevance:

  The major porin in this organism, forms a water-filled channel which favors the permeation of cations, amino acids, iron Fe3+ and less efficiently phosphate. Does not transport Fe-ExoMS, the predominant siderophore. Plays a role in transport of beta-lactamase and hydrophilic fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as norfloxacin as well as chloramphenicol. There are about 2400 porins in wild-type, 800 in an mspA deletion and 150 in a double mspA-mspC deletion. Different conductance values with maxima at 2.3 and 4.6 nanosiemens might be caused by a simultaneous reconstitution of MspA channels into the membrane or by the existence of different MspA conformations.

• Endotoxin:

  Not test

• Purity:

  Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  Not Test

• Form:

  Liquid or Lyophilized powder

• Buffer:

  If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

• Reconstitution:

  We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

• Molecular Weight:

• Storage Conditions:

  The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
