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
FNTB (Farnesyltransferase) is an important enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of proteins, specifically in the addition of farnesyl groups to C-terminal cysteine residues of target proteins, a process crucial for their membrane localization and function. Research on FNTB and its associated recombinant proteins has gained significant attention due to its implications in various diseases, particularly cancer. Abnormal farnesylation of proteins can lead to cellular transformation and tumorigenesis, as seen in the case of oncogenic Ras proteins. As such, the study of FNTB-encoded proteins and their interactions has become vital in understanding signaling pathways that are disrupted in malignancies. Recombinant FNTB proteins can be produced in a laboratory setting, allowing researchers to dissect the enzyme's functionality, its substrate specificity, and the molecular mechanisms underlying farnesylation. Understanding the structure-function relationship of FNTB can pave the way for the development of specific inhibitors that could serve as potential therapeutic agents in treating cancers driven by aberrant farnesylation. Furthermore, insights gathered from FNTB studies can also contribute to a broader understanding of lipid modifications in cell biology, underscoring the importance of farnesylation in regulating protein interactions and cellular processes. Overall, the investigation of FNTB recombinant proteins continues to hold promise for novel therapeutic strategies and enhances our comprehension of the role of post-translational modifications in human health and disease.
