Description

Recombinant Production

While no direct studies on recombinant Mabinlin-4 exist, its production likely parallels methods developed for Mabinlin-II:

  • E. coli systems: Expression in inclusion bodies followed by denaturation/renaturation .

  • Food-grade hosts: Lactococcus lactis for secretion, validated for Mabinlin-II .

Challenges:

  • Mabinlin-4’s shorter molecular weight (11.9 kDa vs. 12.3 kDa for Mabinlin-1/3) may affect folding efficiency .

  • The absence of arginine at position 47 in the B-chain (present in heat-stable Mabinlin-II) suggests lower thermal stability .

Functional Properties

  • Sweetness: Mabinlin-4’s sweetness has not been quantified, but Mabinlin-II is reported to be ~400x sweeter than sucrose .

  • Taste receptor interaction: The B-chain’s [NL/I] tetralet motif (critical for sweetness in Mabinlin-II) is conserved in Mabinlin-4’s B-chain .

Research Gaps

  • Sweetness quantification: No direct measurements of Mabinlin-4’s sweetness relative to sucrose or other homologues.

  • Thermostability: Unstudied, though structural homology suggests lower stability than Mabinlin-2.

  • Recombinant optimization: No tailored expression systems for Mabinlin-4 have been reported.

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will ship the in-stock format preferentially. If you have special format requirements, please note them when ordering.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary by purchase method and location. Consult your local distributor for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. Request dry ice shipping in advance (extra fees apply).
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Working aliquots are stable at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute in sterile deionized water to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Add 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer components, temperature, and protein stability. Liquid form: 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form: 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
Tag type is determined during manufacturing. If you require a specific tag, please inform us and we will prioritize its development.
