Buffer Liquid form: default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. Lyophilized powder form: the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuged the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. It is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. The default final concentration of glycerol is 50%.
Storage 1. Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. 2. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 3. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. 4. In general, protein in liquid form is stable for up to 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Protein in lyophilized powder form is stable for up to 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Notes Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Details

Target Function After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
Subcellular Location Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Protein Families Ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family, Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily, Alpha-1/CHRNA1 sub-subfamily

  • The results indicate that in the absence of the alpha1-nAChR subunit, clusters of nAChRs coupled to SK2 potassium channels as well as functional efferent synapses did form, showing that alpha1 is not necessary for these processes to take place. PMID: 27098031
  • Findings suggest the possible role of controlling localised inflammatory response by parasympathetic cholinergic nerves through a1nAChRs of inflammation sites. PMID: 26778394
  • This study demonstrates that genes coding for CHRNA1 subunits may contain variants associated with statin-induced ADRs. PMID: 22688219
  • Chrna1 was co-purified with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in C2C12 myotubes. In addition, Stau1 was found to interact with Chrna1 mRNA, and knocking down of Stau1 by RNAi resulted in defective AChR clustering. PMID: 22884571

  • The nAChRalpha1 gene plays a significant role at the artery wall, and reducing its expression decreases aortic plaque development. PMID: 20810113
  • These data identify caveolin-3 as a critical component of the signaling machinery that drives nicotinic acetylcholine receptor clustering and controls neuromuscular junction function. PMID: 19940021
  • These two residues (and homologous sites in epsilon; subunit) are not involved in specific interactions with nicotinic agonist, and they affect activation of nicotinic receptor by shaping overall structure of agonist binding site. PMID: 12411516
  • In murine muscle-type AChR alpha transmembrane 3 domain, tryptophan substitution at positions Phe-284, Ala-287, and Ile-290 produces a significant increase in normalized macroscopic response in channel gating, primarily the channel closing rate. PMID: 14705933
  • the interaction between alpha AChR M1 and M2 domains plays a key role in channel gating PMID: 17028140
  • Receptors with neutral side chains at position 89 function well, if side chain is less perturbing than amide of asparagine (nitro or keto groups allow function) or if a compensating backbone mutation is introduced to relieve unfavorable electrostatics. PMID: 17223685
  • HDAC4 is a neural activity-regulated deacetylase and a key signaling component that relays neural activity to the muscle transcriptional machinery through Dach2, myogenin, and nAChR PMID: 17873280

    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.
