What Is GOLGA8F and Why Is It Studied?

GOLGA8F (Golgin subfamily A member 8F) is a member of the Golgin family of coiled-coil proteins that are associated with the Golgi apparatus. Golgins play critical structural and functional roles in maintaining Golgi morphology, regulating vesicular trafficking, and ensuring the fidelity of intracellular protein transport. GOLGA8F is encoded within a gene cluster on human chromosome 15 that contains multiple paralogous GOLGA8 family members, a region noted for genomic structural complexity including copy-number variation. Research into GOLGA8F and related Golgins contributes to understanding Golgi biogenesis, membrane tethering, and the molecular basis of secretory pathway disorders. Due to the structural complexity of its genomic locus, studies of GOLGA8F also intersect with genomics research on chromosomal rearrangements and copy-number variants.

Product Specifications and Quality

Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein (SKU: rp373250) is produced recombinantly for research applications. Researchers should consult the official product datasheet for confirmed specifications including expression system, tag information, molecular weight, purity grade, endotoxin level, and formulation buffer, as these parameters are critical for experimental design. Aladdin Scientific is committed to supplying research-grade reagents that meet rigorous quality standards. For detailed lot-specific certificate of analysis (CoA) data, please contact Aladdin Scientific customer support or visit the product page.

Storage, Stability, and Handling Recommendations

Proper storage and handling of recombinant proteins are essential to preserve activity and integrity. As a general guideline for recombinant proteins of this class, products should be stored at -20°C or -80°C upon receipt, depending on the recommended conditions stated in the product datasheet. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided; aliquoting into single-use volumes before freezing is strongly advised. Working solutions should be prepared fresh or kept on ice during use. Always refer to the specific storage conditions provided in the product datasheet or CoA supplied with your lot, as formulation-specific conditions take precedence over general guidelines.

Recommended Applications

Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein may be used in a variety of research applications relevant to Golgi biology, intracellular trafficking, and protein–protein interaction studies. Typical applications for recombinant proteins in this family include use as a positive control in Western blot assays, as an antigen for antibody validation, in binding and pull-down assays to characterize protein interactions, and in structural biology studies. Suitability for specific applications should be confirmed by the researcher using the product datasheet. Application-specific validation data, where available, will be listed on the product page or provided upon request.

Frequently asked questions

What is the GOLGA8F gene and what does its protein product do?

GOLGA8F encodes a member of the Golgin subfamily A family of coiled-coil proteins associated with the Golgi apparatus. Golgins in this family are generally involved in maintaining Golgi structure and regulating vesicular trafficking within the secretory pathway. GOLGA8F is part of a paralogous gene cluster on human chromosome 15 that is notable for structural genomic complexity.

What are the recommended storage conditions for Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein (rp373250)?

As a general guideline, recombinant proteins should be stored at -20°C or -80°C and repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided by aliquoting prior to freezing. However, the definitive storage conditions are specified in the product datasheet and certificate of analysis (CoA) provided with each lot of rp373250, and those instructions should always take precedence.

For which research applications is Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein suitable?

Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein (rp373250) is intended for research use and may be applicable in Western blot as a positive control, antibody validation, protein-protein interaction studies such as pull-down assays, and structural biology investigations. Researchers should verify suitability for their specific application by consulting the product datasheet or contacting Aladdin Scientific technical support.

How can I obtain a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for rp373250?

Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets for Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein (rp373250) can be obtained by visiting the product page on the Aladdin Scientific website and searching by SKU, or by contacting Aladdin Scientific customer support with your lot number. Providing your lot number ensures you receive documentation specific to your batch.

Is Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein (rp373250) suitable for diagnostic or therapeutic use?

No. Recombinant Human GOLGA8F Protein (rp373250) is supplied for research use only (RUO) and is not approved or validated for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical procedures. It must not be administered to humans or animals for any clinical purpose.
