Molecular Characterization

Other Tags and Version Biotin & Other Labeled Version
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 35.5 kDa. The protein migrates as 55-65 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
LIV-1 is also known as SLC39A6, ZIP-6 and Zinc transporter ZIP6. May act as a zinc-influx transporter. Highly expressed in the breast, prostate, placenta, kidney, pituitary and corpus callosum. Weakly expressed in heart and intestine. Also highly expressed in cells derived from an adenocarcinoma of the cervix and lung carcinoma. Up-regulated by estrogen in breast cancer cells lines.
