Application Data (Functional ELISA to test the binding of sTIE-2 to its ligand Ang-2. Ang-2 was coated on the plate and increasing amounts of recombinant human soluble sTIE-2 was added.)
SDS-PAGE (SDS-PAGE analysis of recombinant human soluble TIE-2-His produced from insect cells. Sample was loaded in 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel under reducing condition and stained with Coomassie blue.)
Application Data (Galectin 3 (GAL3) is a member of the lectin family, of which 14 mammalian galectins have been identified. It is also a member of the beta-galactoside-binding protein family that plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, macrophage activation, angiogenesis, metastasis, apoptosis. The protein also has been demonstrated to be involved in cancer, inflammation and fibrosis, heart disease, and stroke. GAL3 is expressed in the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, cell surface, and extracellular space. It also can agglutinate red blood. In this case, we choose rabbit erythrocyte (RaE) to assay its ability of agglutination. A general procedure for hemagglutination assay (HA) is as follows, two-fold dilute the recombinant rat GAL3 with 0.01M PBS (pH7.4), add 50L a serial dilution of GAL3 to each well of a U or V-bottom shaped 96-well microtiter plate. The final well serves as a negative control with no GAL3, replace with 50L 0.01M PBS. Then add 50L 1% RaE to each well and mixed gently. The plate is incubated for 1-2 hours at room temperature. The results are shown in Figure 1. The minimal effective concentration of GAL3 is 2.5g/mL. (A) 1% RaE treated with 2.5g/mL GAL3 for 2h; (B) Negative control without GAL3.Figure.

Bioactivity (Tumor protein p53 (TP53), also known as p53, cellular tumor antigen p53 has many mechanisms of anticancer function and plays a role in apoptosis, genomic stability, and inhibition of angiogenesis. TP53 act as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. It also Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. Besides, CREB Binding Protein (CREBBP) has been identified as an interactor of TP53, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant rat TP53 and recombinant rat CREBBP. Briefly, TP53 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100L were then transferred to CREBBP-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-TP53 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of TP53 and CREBBP was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.Figure. The binding activity of TP53 with CREBBP.)

Bioactivity (The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2E1 catalyzes the oxidative metabolism of many solvents and other small organic molecules. CYP2E1 is expressed in adult and fetal human liver in addition to extrahepatic tissues such as lung and placenta. Treatment of primary cultures of human hepatocytes with ethanol induces CYP2E1 protein, and this is consistent with the finding that hepatic CYP2E1 protein and mRNA levels are increased in individuals with alcoholism. Although only a few drugs (e.g., acetaminophen have been identified as substrates for CYP2E1, many low molecular weight procarcinogens are activated by this cytochrome P450 (P450). Chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation, N-nitrosodimethylamine N-demethylation and p-nitrophenol hydroxylation can be used to measure the catalytic activity of CYP2E1. Thus, the recombinant human CYP2E1 activity was measured by its ability to hydroxylate p-nitrophenol to p-nitrocatechol. The reaction was performed in 50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4 (Assay Buffer), initiated by addition 20 uL of 500 ug/ml CYP2E1 to 10 uL of 5 mM substrate p-nitrophenol and 30 ul of 26 mM NADPH in a total volume of 500 ul. Incubated at 37 degree C for 30min, then read at a wavelength of 535 nm after acidification of the reaction mixture with trichloroacetic acid followed by neutralization using 2 M NaOH.)

What Are Active Proteins?
Proteins are large molecules made up of long chains of amino acids.
They will typically fold into a very particular 3-dimensional shape/conformation, that is sometimes referred to as their “native” form, which allows them to work properly in the body. For the purposes of product categorization, AAA Biotech will typically refer to proteins purified from their original animal host as being “native” proteins (this is to signify their difference compared to their “recombinant” or “synthetic” protein counterparts).
If a protein successfully folds into the correct shape, it is will typically display high fidelity characteristics to its original protein in its original animal host, and be classified as an active protein, as it will be able to function “normally” in most enzymatic or binding capacities. If it loses this shape, due to factors such as heat or strong chemicals (such as detergents), it becomes inactive and is no longer able to perform its basic functions. All of the proteins in this category are made under strict quality control, and they are active, pure, low in contaminants, and stable.
Most are stored as freeze-dried powders and come without extra tags, so they’re very close to the actual natural/native form.

FAQ
1. What are active proteins used for in research?
Active proteins are used primarily in the study of how proteins function, in characterizing/discovering drug interactions, supporting cell growth, running biochemical assays, and in development of diagnostics or therapeutics.
2. How are AAA Biotech's active proteins validated?
AAA Biotech’s active proteins are validated through strict quality control and functional assays to ensure they are properly folded and active. “Active”, though, can be an ambiguous term, so if a specific “activity” or “binding” capability of a protein is of crucial interest to you, please inquire with us prior to purchase, and we will provide further details on how the “Active” modifier was determined to be applicable.
3. Are these proteins tested for biological activity?
Yes, all active proteins from AAA Biotech are tested to confirm they have the expected biological activity before being offered for use. Though, said “biological activity” can be either “enzymatic”, “binding”, or both.
