Recombinant Bovine TMEM182 is a synthetic version of the native TMEM182 protein, expressed in Escherichia coli or mammalian cells (e.g., HEK293) with engineered tags for purification. Key production features include:
Attribute
Details
Source Organism
Bos taurus (Bovine)
Expression System
E. coli (common) or mammalian cells (e.g., HEK293)
Purity
>85% (SDS-PAGE)
Tag
N-terminal 10xHis-tag (for E. coli systems) or others (e.g., DDK, Myc)
In Vitro: Chicken/mouse primary myoblasts show impaired differentiation with TMEM182 overexpression.
In Vivo: TMEM182-KO mice exhibit enhanced skeletal muscle mass and accelerated regeneration post-injury.

Product Specs
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference during ordering for fulfillment.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchase method and location. Please contact your local distributor for precise delivery estimates. Note: All proteins are shipped on blue ice unless dry ice is specifically requested in advance. Additional fees apply for dry ice shipping.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, but this can be adjusted as needed.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on various factors, including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquot for multiple uses to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
The tag type will be determined during the manufacturing process. Note: While the tag type is determined during production, please inform us of any specific tag requirements; we will prioritize fulfilling such requests.
