Target Details

Target Function	Neuronal calcium sensor, regulator of G protein-coupled receptor phosphorylation in a calcium dependent manner. Directly regulates GRK1 (RHOK), but not GRK2 to GRK5. Can substitute for calmodulin. Stimulates PI4KB kinase activity. Involved in long-term synaptic plasticity through its interaction with PICK1. May also play a role in neuron differentiation through inhibition of the activity of N-type voltage-gated calcium channel.
Subcellular Location	Golgi apparatus. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Membrane; Lipid-anchor.
Protein Families	Recoverin family

NCS-1, a calcium-binding protein, is associated with clinicopathologic features of aggressiveness in breast cancer cells and worse outcome in two breast cancer patient cohorts PMID: 28275088
Results show that although NCS-1 Var2mRNA can be detected, protein expression was not detectable. When overexpressed in cell lines NCS-1 Var2 appears to be folded properly, yet it has a lower calcium affinity. Because most NCS-1 binding to its protein partners requires calcium binding, it is unlikely that NCS-1 Var2 would play a major regulatory role in cells. PMID: 27575489

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.
