稳定性测试
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.
-
保存条件 & 期限
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.
-
运输条件
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
ATG8, a key protein in the autophagy pathway, plays a vital role in cellular degradation and recycling processes. Autophagy, derived from the Greek words "auto" meaning self and "phagy" meaning eating, is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis by removing damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and invading pathogens. ATG8 is a ubiquitin-like protein that can be conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine, a lipid found in cellular membranes, thus facilitating the formation of autophagosomes—double-membraned vesicles crucial for the autophagic process. The study of ATG8 and its homologs, such as LC3 in mammals, has garnered considerable attention due to their implications in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and infections. Researchers are exploring the structural and functional aspects of ATG8 to develop therapeutic strategies that modulate autophagy. The ability to manipulate ATG8 activity could offer novel approaches for treating diseases characterized by either excessive or insufficient autophagic activity. Overall, the ongoing research on ATG8 recombinants aims to expand our understanding of autophagy and its intricate role in health and disease.
