Description

Intermediate Filament Protein, Branchiostoma Lanceolatum CAS NO 148197-21-1 is a specialized protein derived from the lancelet, a key model organism in evolutionary and developmental biology. This high-purity protein is essential for research into cytoskeletal structure, cellular mechanics, and the evolution of metazoan cell architecture. It is primarily utilized by academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical R&D sectors focused on fundamental cell biology, comparative genomics, and the development of novel biomaterials.

Application

• Cytoskeletal Research: Fundamental studies on the assembly, structure, and mechanical properties of intermediate filaments.
• Evolutionary Biology Studies: Comparative analysis of protein structure and function in basal chordates to understand metazoan evolution.
• Biomaterial Development: Investigation as a potential component for engineered biological scaffolds and nanostructured materials.
• Cell Mechanics & Differentiation: Research into the role of the cytoskeleton in cell shape, motility, and fate determination.
• Antibody & Assay Development: Serves as a critical antigen for generating specific antibodies and calibrating immunological assays.
• Model Organism Research: Essential reagent for functional studies using Branchiostoma lanceolatum as a model system.

Quality Control

Our Intermediate Filament Protein is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques including electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), spectrophotometry, and functional assays. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and biological activity is provided with every shipment to support your research integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
