Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Useful for studies involving adenylate cyclase, AMP, and related membrane-transport phenomena. Consists of a single A subunit surrounded by five polypeptide chains of the B subunits. The A subunit catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of the α-subunit of G-proteins, reducing intrinsic GTPase activity and activating the α-subunit. The B subunits are responsible for the attachment of the native toxin on the cell surface.

Warnhinweis

Toxicity: Highly Toxic (H)

Physikalische Form

Lyophilized from 200 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5.

Rekonstituierung

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). Aqueous stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at 4°C under sterile conditions.

Please refer to the vial label for lot-specific reconstitution. Note: cholera toxin tends to breakdown into its A and B subunits when the solution is frozen or with vigorous shaking during reconstitution, resulting in damage to the toxin protein and concomitant loss of biological activity. Swirl bottles gently during reconstitution. Avoid vigorous pipetting of solutions that would lead to foaming. Heating of cholera toxin in excess of 40-50°C results in aggregation and subsequent breakdown into its A and B subunits.

Hinweis zur Analyse

Binding activity is assessed by hemagglutination assay using trisialoganglioside fixed sheep red blood cells.

single band by disc gel electrophoresis
