Tag Info
N-terminal 6xHis-tagged
Form
Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Note: We will preferentially ship the format that
we have in stock, however, if you have any special requirement for the format, please remark your
requirement when placing the order, we will prepare according to your demand.
Buffer
If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol.
Note: If you have any special requirement for the
glycerol content, please remark when you place the order.
If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer,
6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw
cycles.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature
and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized
form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Lead Time
3-7 business days
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Description
Amino acids 2-417 constitute the expression domain of recombinant Human FDFT1. This FDFT1 protein is theoretically predicted to have a molecular weight of 52 kDa. This FDFT1 protein is produced using e.coli expression system. The FDFT1 gene fragment has been modified by fusing the N-terminal 6xHis tag, providing convenience in detecting and purifying the recombinant FDFT1 protein during the following stages.
Human squalene synthase (FDFT1) is a key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, catalyzing the condensation of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate to produce squalene. This reaction is a crucial step in the mevalonate pathway, leading to the synthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids. FDFT1 plays a central role in maintaining cellular lipid homeostasis. Dysregulation of cholesterol levels can contribute to various diseases, including cardiovascular disorders. Research on FDFT1 is important for understanding cholesterol metabolism and lipid-related diseases and exploring potential therapeutic targets for conditions associated with abnormal lipid profiles.
