Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are supplied as lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature. For bulk packages, the proteins are provided as frozen liquid and shipped with blue ice, unless otherwise requested by the customer.

Protein Description
The PIGS (Phosphatidylinositol Glycan Anchor Biosynthesis Class S) protein plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, which are essential for attaching certain proteins to the cell membrane in eukaryotic cells. Understanding the function and structure of PIGS is pivotal for insights into various biological processes, including cell signaling, adhesion, and immune response. Abnormalities in GPI anchor synthesis have been linked to a range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and certain types of cancer. Consequently, researchers have focused on characterizing the PIGS protein and its involvement in GPI anchor biosynthesis to elucidate its biological significance and potential pathological implications. These studies often involve structural analysis, biochemical assays, and genetic manipulation in model organisms. Additionally, the exploration of PIGS as a potential therapeutic target for diseases associated with GPI anchor malfunctions presents an exciting avenue for future research. The continued investigation into PIGS and its associated pathways holds promise for advancing our understanding of cellular mechanisms and developing innovative treatments for related diseases.
