Cat. No.: FNK-CFS-PLE-ASL
Size: 1 Kit
This Product has a shelf life of 1 year being safely stored at -80°C.
CFS products are for research use only.


Description: 

This product provides lyophilized liposomes containing asolectin from soybeans and can be used for membrane protein expression.

Lyophilized liposomes are provided in a specially sealed vial to avoid any air contact and are stable below room temperature. Rehydrated liposomes are for single use, and we recommend not to freeze/thaw the liposomes after rehydration. They may be stored at -80°C for 3 months.
 

Introduction:

Liposomes, artificially prepared spherical lipid vesicles, can be added to cell-free protein expression reaction for direct formation of proteoliposomes. Proteoliposomes are a convenient way to prepare and later study membrane proteins. Liposomes made from asolectin have been successfully used in the wheat germ cell-free protein expression system for studies on GPCRs, Transporters and other membrane proteins. Asolectin is a mixture of phospholipids prepared from soybeans. It contains about equal amounts of lecithin, cephalin and phosphatidylinositol along with small amounts of other phospholipids and polar lipids. Our liposomes are lyophilized for stable storage and easy reaction setup and are intended for use in combination with our wheat germ cell-free protein expression system. This product does not contain any reagents to conduct translation reactions nor are any buffers provided to rehydrate the liposomes. Refer to our homepage or contact our support team for more information on how to use our cell-free protein expression system. The contact information is given at the end of the manual.
