A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) containing reconstitution instructions is included with the products. Please refer to the CoA for detailed information.

It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

PLBD2 localizes to the lysosome, as its absence could plausibly lead to a serious yet unrecognized lysosomal storage disease. PLBD1 and PLBD2 are semi-orphans in the sense of being probable phospholipases of B class but with uncertain physiological substrates and thus functionalities. PLBD1 and PLBD2 constitute a small gene family (sequence homology class) within vertebrates though one that occurs expanded in some early diverging eukaryotes. PLBD2 presents a special difficulty in that a sequence of post-translational steps are apparently necessary for its activation. Without these, potential substrates can hardly be assayed. These steps include removal of the signal peptide, mannosylation appropriate to the lysosome targeting receptor, and self-catalytic proteolytic activation to expose the substrate binding site as this becomes appropriate.
