• Protein Length: 428
• Description: Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2),also called ERBB2, HER-2,HER-2/neu, NEU, NGL,TKR1 and c-erb B2,and is a protein giving higher aggressiveness in breast cancers. It is a member of the ErbB protein family, more commonly known as the epidermal growth factor receptor family. HER2 is a cell membrane surface-bound receptor tyrosine kinase and is normally involved in the signal transduction pathways leading to cell growth and differentiation. HER2 is thought to be an orphan receptor, with none of the EGF family of ligands able to activate it. Approximately 30% of breast cancers have an amplification of the HER2 gene or overexpression of its protein product. Overexpression of this receptor in breast cancer is associated with increased disease recurrence and worse prognosis. HER2 appears to play roles in development, cancer,communication at the neuromuscular junction andregulation of cell growth and differentiation.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 74.5 kDa. The reducing (R) protein migrates as 95-100 kDa in SDS-PAGE due to glycosylation.
• N-terminal Sequence Analysis: The predicted N-terminus is Thr 23.
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU/ μg by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Characteristic: Disulfide-linked homodimer
  Labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 via amines
  With an excitation and emission maximum of 555/565 nm, Alexa Fluor 555 can be efficiently excited using a 543 nm He-Ne laser line and detected under standard TRITC/Cy3 filters.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20 centigrade or lower.
  Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 to -70 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state;
  -70 centigrade for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5, 10% trehalose.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 μg/μL. Centrifuge the vial at 4 centigrade before opening to recover the entire contents.

Q&As

Do you have a recommended protocol for immobilizing any avi-tagged recombinant proteins on a streptavidin coated plate?

1.Prepare the streptavidin-coated plate by washing it with PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) or another suitable buffer to remove any impurities. 2.Dilute the Avi-tagged protein in the desired buffer at the desired concentration. It is important to use a buffer that is compatible with the protein and does not interfere with its activity or stability. 3.Add the diluted protein to the streptavidin-coated plate and incubate it for a suitable amount of time at room temperature or 4°C. The exact conditions will depend on the specific protein and the desired level of immobilization. 4.Wash the plate with a suitable buffer to remove any unbound protein. 5.Block the remaining binding sites on the plate with a suitable blocking agent such as BSA (bovine serum albumin) or casein. 6.Wash the plate again to remove any unbound blocking agent. 7.Use the immobilized protein for further experiments such as ELISA, Western blotting, or other assays.
