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
MEP1b, or Methylthio-adenosine phosphorylase 1b, is a key enzyme involved in the methionine salvage pathway, which recycles byproducts of methionine metabolism. This enzyme has garnered interest due to its potential implications in various biological processes, including cellular stress responses, cancer metabolism, and viral infections. Research indicates that studying MEP1b can provide insights into metabolic regulation and its implications in disorders like cancer, where altered metabolism is a hallmark. Furthermore, MEP1b has been linked to the virulence of certain pathogens, making it a target for therapeutic interventions. By examining the structure and function of recombinant MEP1b, researchers aim to elucidate its role in cellular metabolism and explore its potential as a biomarker or therapeutic target in diseases characterized by dysfunctional methionine metabolism. Additionally, understanding its enzymatic properties can help in developing strategies to manipulate its activity for therapeutic purposes. This research is particularly relevant in the context of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, where MEP1b could be harnessed to optimize biotechnological applications, such as the production of valuable metabolites. Overall, the study of MEP1b encompasses a multidisciplinary approach, combining biochemistry, molecular biology, and therapeutic research to unravel its complexities in human health and disease.
