Active Valosin Containing Protein (VCP)
Bioactivity
(VCP is an ATPase Associated with diverse cellular Activities (AAA) that has a key role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. VCP is ubiquitously expressed in tissues. At cellular level, VCP functions in many cellular compartments; VCP localizes mainly in the cytoplasm, while a smaller fraction binds to organelles or localizes in the nucleus, where it is implicated in different pathways. VCP assembles and acts as a homo-hexamer, in which each monomer is structured in an N-terminal domain that interacts with adaptors and co-factors; in two ATPase domains, D1 and D2, that by hydrolyzing ATP concur, respectively, in the hexamer formation and in supporting VCP activity; and in a C-terminal domain that binds to a small subset of co-factors and adaptors cooperating with D2 activity. The main role of VCP is to recognize and to extract ubiquitinated proteins from membranes, protein complexes, protein aggregates, or chromatin, modulating their ubiquitination or de-ubiquitination, and to enhance their degradation through the UPS or the autophagic pathway. The activity of recombinant human VCP was measured by its ability to hydrolyze the substrate ATP to phosphate which was detected by the malachite green phosphate detection Kit (Beyotime # S0196M). The reaction was performed in the assay buffer 20 mM HEPES, 13 mM NaCl and 1% glycerol, pH 8.5, initiated by addition 27 uL of various concentrations of VCP (diluted by assay buffer) to 3 uL of 100 mM ATP and 100 mM MgCl2 mixture. The final well serves as a negative control with no VCP, replaced with 27 uL assay buffer. Incubated at 37 degree C for 5min, then stop the reaction by quickly freezing samples in the dry ice and ethanol. 4 ul samples was added to 196 ul assay buffer after thawing at room temperature followed by adding 70 ul phosphate detection agent and incubated at room temperature for 30min, then read at a wavelength of 630 nm. The specific activity of recombinant human VCP is >1000 pmol/min/ug.)

AAA Biotech's Valosin Containing Protein (VCP) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the VCP vcp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Gly125~Ile 371. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Valosin Containing Protein (VCP), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
