Molecular Weight: Influenza A virus (A/Thailand/1(KAN-1)/2004 (H5N1)) Neuraminidase (NA) is fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus, and has a calculated MW of 46.1 kDa. The predicted N-terminus is His 36. DTT-reduced Protein migrates as 48 kDa in SDS-PAGE

Concentration: N/A

Appearance: Lyophilized

Physical form description: Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose are added as protectants before lyophilization.

Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in PBS, pH 7.4. Do not vortex.

Background Information: Neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA) are major membrane glycoproteins found on the surface of influenza virus. Hemagglutinin binds to the sialic acid-containing receptors on the surface of host cells during initial infection and at the end of an infectious cycle. Neuraminidase, on the other hand, cleaves the HA-sialic acid bondage from the newly formed virions and the host cell receptors during budding. Neuraminidase thus is described as a receptor-destroying enzyme which facilitates virus release and efficient spread of the progeny virus from cell to cell.

Amino acid sequence: N/A

Handling: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
