Product Overview

Tag	GST
Host Species	Human
Accession	Q8IVT5
Synonym	KSR; RSU2
Background	KSR1 or Kinase Suppressor of Ras 1 interacts with various kinases of the Raf/MEK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway to enhance its activation. KSR1 is regulated in response to a specific mode of dimerization of its kinase domain, which is termed the side-to-side dimer, whereas KSR1 also participates in forming side-to-side heterodimers with RAF and this can trigger RAF activation. KSR1 has an essential protective role in the intestinal epithelial cell during inflammation through activation of cell survival pathways (1). KSR1 functions as a scaffold that enhances iNOS activity and is crucial for the pulmonary response to P. aeruginosa infection (2).

Target Details

Target Function	Part of a multiprotein signaling complex which promotes phosphorylation of Raf family members and activation of downstream MAP kinases. Independently of its kinase activity, acts as MAP2K1/MEK1 and MAP2K2/MEK2-dependent allosteric activator of BRAF; upon binding to MAP2K1/MEK1 or MAP2K2/MEK2, dimerizes with BRAF and promotes BRAF-mediated phosphorylation of MAP2K1/MEK1 and/or MAP2K2/MEK2. Promotes activation of MAPK1 and/or MAPK3, both in response to EGF and to cAMP. Its kinase activity is unsure. Some protein kinase activity has been detected in vitro, however the physiological relevance of this activity is unknown.
Subcellular Location	Cytoplasm. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell projection, ruffle membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Protein Families	Protein kinase superfamily, TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family

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.
