Recombinant Oscillatoria agardhii Gas vesicle protein C (gvpC)
Shipped with Ice Packs 
In Stock 
Description
Functional Role in Gas Vesicle Assembly
Recombinant GvpC interacts with multiple proteins to orchestrate gas vesicle biogenesis:
-
GvpA Binding: Stabilizes the ribbed structure of GvpA multimers via N-terminal repeats .
-
Accessory Protein Interactions:
Table 2: Protein Interaction Network of GvpC
Genetic and Biotechnological Applications
-
Genetic Clusters: The gvpACNO operon encodes GvpC, alongside GvpA, GvpN, and GvpO . Recombinant systems often use modified clusters for heterologous expression .
-
Biomedical Potential: Engineered gas vesicles incorporating recombinant GvpC are explored as ultrasound contrast agents .
Research Gaps and Future Directions
Product Specs
Form
Lyophilized powder. We will ship the format we have in stock. If you have special format requirements, please note them when ordering, and we will fulfill your request.
Lead Time
Delivery time varies depending on purchasing method and location. Consult your local distributor for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. For dry ice shipping, please contact us in advance; additional charges apply.
Notes
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Working aliquots are stable at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening to collect contents at the bottom. Reconstitute the protein in sterile deionized water to 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 default final glycerol concentration is 50% for your reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer components, storage temperature, and protein stability. Generally, the liquid form is stable for 6 months at -20°C/-80°C, and the lyophilized form is stable for 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
The tag type will be determined during the manufacturing process. If you require a specific tag, please inform us, and we will prioritize developing it.
