Synthetic peptide TTC5 14 aa near the carboxy terminus of human TTC5 (UniProt Q8N0Z6).
Description: Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 5 (TTC5) is a member of a diverse group of functionally distinct proteins that are characterized by containing one or more tetratricopeptide repeats (1). Each motif consists of two anti-parallel a-helices such that tandem arrays of TPR motifs generate a right-handed helical structure with an amphipathic channel that may serve to accommodate the complementary region of a target protein. While the exact function of TTC5 remains unclear, it is thought that the TPR motifs serve to mediate protein-protein interactions such as those seen with protein chaperones HSP70 and HSP90 (2) and some proteins involved in cell stress response signaling pathways such as protein phosphatase 5 (3), suggesting that TTC5 may also function via protein-protein interactions mediated by its TPR motifs. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 05-1ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: RAW264.7 cell lysate Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
