Production and Purification Methods

Recombinant mouse Dpm3 is produced in heterologous systems for research and therapeutic applications.

Expression Systems and Tags

SystemTag/ConjugatePurity (%)Molecular Weight (kDa)Source
E. coliHis-tag>9511.3 (with tag)
Insect Cellsrho-1D4 tagN/A11.3 (with tag)
Mammalian CellsNone (Native)N/A~9.2

Key Production Steps:

  1. Cloning: Mouse Dpm3 cDNA is inserted into expression vectors (e.g., pET or pcDNA).

  2. Fermentation: E. coli cultures are induced with IPTG; insect cells use baculovirus systems.

  3. Purification: Affinity chromatography (His-tag) or ion-exchange chromatography .

Research Applications

Recombinant Dpm3 is critical for studying glycosylation disorders and GPI anchor deficiencies.

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: We prioritize shipping the format currently in stock. However, if you have specific requirements for the format, please indicate them when placing your order, and we will fulfill your request.
Lead Time
Delivery time may vary depending on the purchase method or location. Please consult your local distributors for specific delivery timelines.
Note: All our proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. If you require dry ice shipping, please inform us in advance, and additional charges will apply.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
We recommend centrifuging the vial briefly before opening to ensure the contents settle at the bottom. Reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard final glycerol concentration is 50%. Customers can use this as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is influenced by various factors such as storage conditions, buffer ingredients, storage temperature, and the protein's inherent stability.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form has a shelf life of 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquoting is necessary for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
Tag type will be determined during the manufacturing process.
The tag type is determined during production. If you have a specific tag type requirement, please inform us, and we will prioritize developing the specified tag.
