Description

Tra-2 Protein, Caenorhabditis Elegans is a recombinant protein derived from the model organism *Caenorhabditis elegans*, playing a crucial role in developmental biology and genetic research. This high-purity protein is essential for studying sex determination, cell signaling pathways, and gene regulation mechanisms. It is a critical reagent for academic research institutions, biotechnology companies, and pharmaceutical R&D departments focused on molecular biology and developmental genetics.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in studies of TRA-2 mediated signaling and hermaphrodite development in *C. elegans*.
• Protein-Protein Interaction Studies: Employed in pull-down assays, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and yeast two-hybrid screens to map interactomes.
• Antibody Production & Validation: Serves as a high-quality antigen for generating and validating specific polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies.
• Enzymatic & Functional Assays: Utilized in in vitro assays to investigate the protein's functional activity and regulation.
• Cell Culture & Transfection Studies: Applied in mammalian cell culture systems to study the effects of heterologous TRA-2 protein expression.
• Diagnostic Development: Potential use as a component in research-grade diagnostic kits for related biological pathways.

Quality Control

Our recombinant Tra-2 Protein is produced under stringent conditions and subjected to rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, high purity, and biological activity. Quality is verified through a combination of SDS-PAGE, HPLC, and functional bioassays. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, endotoxin levels, and buffer composition is provided with each shipment to support your research compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized protein at -20°C or below. Upon reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure desiccants are used in storage areas.
