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
CYP8B1, a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily, plays a significant role in the metabolism of lipids, specifically in the biosynthesis of bile acids. The enzyme catalyzes the 12α-hydroxylation of bile acid precursors, which is a critical step in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis and the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. Understanding the function and regulation of CYP8B1 is essential because alterations in bile acid composition can lead to various metabolic disorders, including cholesterol gallstones and liver diseases. Recent studies have shown that CYP8B1 may also influence the gut microbiome and modulate inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential therapeutic implications. The recombinant expression of CYP8B1 allows for in-depth characterization of its enzymatic activity, substrate specificity, and interaction with other metabolic pathways. This research not only enhances our understanding of bile acid metabolism but also paves the way for the development of novel interventions for managing metabolic disorders linked to dysregulated bile acid synthesis.
