Description

Tetrahymena 14-Nm Filament-Forming Protein is a specialized cytoskeletal protein isolated from the ciliated protozoan *Tetrahymena thermophila*. This protein is essential for research into the fundamental mechanisms of cellular structure, motility, and intracellular transport. It serves as a critical biochemical tool for scientists in cell biology, biophysics, and structural biology who are studying the assembly, dynamics, and function of intermediate filaments and related cytoskeletal networks.

Application

• In vitro cytoskeletal assembly studies to model filament formation and dynamics.
• Biophysical research on protein-protein interactions and macromolecular complex stability.
• Structural biology as a substrate for electron microscopy (EM) and X-ray crystallography analysis.
• Cell biology research investigating the role of specific cytoskeletal components in cellular architecture.
• Development of biomimetic materials and nano-scale scaffolds inspired by biological structures.
• Educational and diagnostic kit development for teaching advanced cell biology concepts.

Quality Control

Our Tetrahymena 14-Nm Filament-Forming Protein is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assessment and functional activity checks. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific purity, concentration, and biological activity data are available upon request to support your research and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store frozen at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation.
