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
UGT8, or UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 8, is an essential enzyme primarily involved in the biosynthesis of myelin, the protective sheath around neuronal axons, through the glucuronidation of certain lipids. Defects in UGT8 have been linked to various neurological disorders, highlighting its critical role in central nervous system (CNS) development and function. Research into UGT8 recombinant proteins has gained traction as scientists aim to unravel the enzyme's mechanisms, understand its substrate specificity, and explore its potential as a therapeutic target. The study of UGT8 not only enhances our understanding of lipid metabolism and myelination but also opens up avenues for developing novel treatments for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis or leukodystrophies. Furthermore, the ability to produce UGT8 in a recombinant form allows researchers to perform detailed functional assays, investigate its interactions with other proteins, and assess the impact of mutations linked to pathological conditions. As a result, the characterization of UGT8 recombinants stands as a pivotal focus in both basic and applied research, offering insights into CNS health and disease.
