Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are supplied as lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature. For bulk packages, the proteins are provided as frozen liquid and shipped with blue ice, unless otherwise requested by the customer.

Protein Description
CRAT (Carnitine O-Octanoyltransferase) is an enzyme involved in the carnitine shuttle, which plays a critical role in the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation and energy production. Research on CRAT has gained prominence due to its implications in various metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the structure and function of CRAT can provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms of fatty acid metabolism, potentially leading to novel therapeutic strategies. Recent studies have focused on the recombinant expression of CRAT to investigate its enzymatic activity, stability, and interaction with substrates. By utilizing recombinant DNA technology, researchers can produce CRAT in sufficient quantities for in vitro assays and structural analysis, allowing for a better understanding of its catalytic properties. Moreover, alterations in the CRAT gene have been linked to metabolic dysregulation, highlighting the importance of studying CRAT not only as a metabolic enzyme but also as a potential biomarker for metabolic diseases. This research could pave the way for developing targeted interventions aimed at modulating CRAT activity to combat obesity and related metabolic conditions, addressing a pressing issue in modern healthcare. Overall, investigating CRAT as a recombinant protein could yield significant advancements in metabolic research and therapeutic development.
