Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference during order placement for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: Standard shipping includes blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires prior arrangement and incurs additional charges.
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% and serves as a guideline.
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 formulations have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function

Function: Golgi-resident glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in GPI-anchor maturation, specifically in the lipid remodeling steps. These steps involve the creation of two saturated fatty chains at the sn-2 position of GPI-anchored proteins. Tmem246 is essential for the initial step of GPI-GalNAc biosynthesis, transferring GalNAc to GPI in the Golgi apparatus following fatty acid remodeling by PGAP2.
