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
The study of RIC8A, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the heterotrimeric G protein subunits, has gained significant interest due to its pivotal role in cellular signaling pathways. Heterotrimeric G proteins are crucial mediators of signal transduction in various physiological processes, including hormone signaling, sensory perception, and immune responses. RIC8A, by facilitating the exchange of GDP for GTP on Gα subunits, activates these proteins, thus influencing downstream signaling cascades. Recent research has uncovered the importance of RIC8A in regulating neuronal development and function, as well as its involvement in the pathology of several diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Understanding the structural and functional properties of RIC8A, as well as its interactions with G proteins and other cellular components, is essential for elucidating its biological significance. Recombinant RIC8A proteins have been produced to study their biochemical properties and to explore their potential as therapeutic targets. This research aims to provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of G protein signaling and to identify new strategies for intervention in disease states linked to dysregulated G protein activity.
