What Is GGN and Why Is It Studied?
GGN, or Gametogenetin, is a protein encoded by the GGN gene in humans. It is predominantly expressed in the testis and has been implicated in spermatogenesis and male fertility. GGN is known to interact with SPRY domain-containing proteins and has been studied in the context of male reproductive development and potential links to infertility. As a research tool, Recombinant Human GGN Protein enables scientists to investigate its molecular interactions, functional roles, and expression characteristics in vitro without reliance on endogenous tissue sources.
Common Questions About Product Specifications
What is the recommended storage condition? Recombinant Human GGN Protein should be stored according to the instructions on the product datasheet. In general, recombinant proteins of this type are stored at −20°C for short-term use or at −80°C for long-term storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to preserve activity and integrity.
What purity level can I expect? Purity specifications are provided on the product datasheet (SKU: rp372289). Researchers are advised to consult the current datasheet available on the Aladdin Scientific website or request it from the technical support team, as exact purity values are lot-dependent.
What expression system is used? The expression system for Recombinant Human GGN Protein should be confirmed by reviewing the product datasheet for SKU rp372289, as expression host details (e.g., E. coli, HEK293, insect cells) can vary by product and lot.
Reconstitution and Handling Guidelines
Proper reconstitution is critical for maintaining the biological activity of Recombinant Human GGN Protein. General best practices include:
- Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect lyophilized material at the bottom.
- Reconstitute using sterile, deionized water or the buffer specified in the product datasheet.
- Allow the protein to dissolve gently; avoid vigorous vortexing.
- After reconstitution, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
- Use the reconstituted protein within the timeframe specified on the datasheet.
For specific reconstitution volumes and buffer compositions, always refer to the product datasheet for SKU rp372289 or contact Aladdin Scientific technical support.
