Introduction: SKP is a 17kDa trimeric periplasmic chaperone that supports outer membrane proteins in their folding and insertion into membranes. SKP protein is necessary for the normal release of ompA from the inner membrane, the maintenance of its solubility in the periplasm, and, in association with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), for the efficient folding and insertion of ompA into the outer membrane.Description: SKP Recombinant E.coli produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 162 amino acids (21-161 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.9 kDa. The SKP is fused to a 21 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniquesPhysical Appearance: Sterile filtered colorless solution.Formulation: SKP E.Coli solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8 & 20% glycerol.Stability: 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.
