Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, Alpha 2 Recombinant Protein | CHRNa2 recombinant protein
Recombinant Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, Alpha 2 (CHRNa2)
Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate of the target protein. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. (Referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calculated by the Arrhenius equation.) The loss of this protein is lessthan 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels formed by a pentameric arrangement of alpha and beta subunits to create distinct muscle and neuronal receptors. Neuronal receptors are found throughout the peripheral and central nervous system where they are involved in fast synaptic transmission. This gene encodes an alpha subunit that is widely expressed in the brain. The proposed structure for nAChR subunits is a conserved N-terminal extracellular domain followed by three conserved transmembrane domains, a variable cytoplasmic loop, a fourth conserved transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal extracellular region. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 4. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene have been associated with nicotine dependence.

Uniprot Description
nAChRA2: After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Defects in CHRNA2 are the cause of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 4 (ENFL4). ENFL4 is an autosomal dominant epilepsy characterized by nocturnal seizures associated with fear sensation, tongue movements, and nocturnal wandering, closely resembling nightmares and sleep walking. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Alpha- 2/CHRNA2 sub-subfamily.

The CHRNa2 chrna2 (Catalog #AAA2033313) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, Alpha 2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, SDS-PAGE, Western (WB), ELISA (EIA), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CHRNa2 chrna2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: QQG SHTHAEDRLF KHLFGGYNRW ARPVPNTSDV VIVRFGLSIA QLIDVDEKNQ MMTTNVWLKQ EWNDYKLRWD PAEFGNITSL RVPSEMIWIP DIVLYNNADG EFAVTHMTKA HLFFTGTVHW VPPAIYKSSC SIDVTFFPFD QQNCKMKFGS WTYDKAKIDL EQMERTVDLK DYWESGEWAI INATGTYNSK KYDCCAEIYP DVTYYFVIRR L. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, Alpha 2, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
