Product Overview

Tag	N/A
Host Species	Human
Synonym	Beta Defensin 118, Beta-defensin 18, DEFB-18, Defensin, beta 118, Epididymal secretory protein 13.6, ESP13.6, DEFB118, C20orf63, DEFB18, ESC42, Beta-defensin 118 precursor.
Background	Beta Defensin 118 (DEFB118) which is a member of the beta subfamily of defensins, is found in a cluster with other beta-defensin genes on the long arm of chromosome 20. Beta-defensins are antimicrobial peptides which provide protection for tissues and organs from infection by a diversity of microorganisms. DEFB118 protein's expression is regulated by androgen, and the encoded protein binds to sperm and exhibits antibacterial activity.
Description	DEFB118 Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 126a.a. (21-123 a.a) and having a molecular weight of 13.8kDa.DEFB118 is fused to a 23a.a. His-tag at N-terminus and purified by unique purification methods.
Source	E.coli

Purity	>90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin	<1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	DEFB118 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 20% glycerol and 1mM DTT.
Stability	Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C
Usage	For Research Use Only
Storage	Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
