Description

Bfr-1 Protein CAS NO 138880-50-9 is a high-purity, recombinant protein derived from the Bacterioferritin (Bfr) family, playing a critical role in iron storage and metabolism. This protein is essential for research and development in biochemistry and molecular biology, offering a reliable tool for studying iron homeostasis and oxidative stress mechanisms. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, academic research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in metabolic pathway analysis and therapeutic target discovery.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in studies of iron metabolism, protein structure-function relationships, and enzymatic assays.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Serves as a target protein for screening compounds that modulate iron-related pathways in therapeutic areas like anemia and neurodegenerative diseases.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Employed in the production of immunoassays and ELISA kits for detecting biomarkers associated with iron disorders.
• Enzyme & Cofactor Studies: Facilitates research on heme-binding proteins and electron transfer processes due to its bacterioferritin-associated properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Supports fundamental and applied research in microbiology, cell biology, and synthetic biology projects.

Quality Control

Our Bfr-1 Protein is manufactured under stringent quality systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assessment by HPLC and identity confirmation via mass spectrometry, to meet the exacting standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, endotoxin levels, and biological activity is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Upon reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly in a dry environment after each use.
