Description

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide (H2O + CO2 = H+ + HCO3-). They participate in a variety of biological and physical processes. CA9, also known as membrane antigen, and G250, a renal cell carcinoma (RCC)-associated antigen, are transmembrane enzymes expressed primarily in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. No expression has been detected in normal cells including kidney cells. In addition, CA9 and G250 might be involved in cell proliferation and transformation. CA9 is used as a marker of tumor hypoxia and as a new therapeutic target for many human carcinomas and cancers. CA9 participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid.

Application Notes

The esterase activity of Human Carbonic Anhydrase 9 (hCA9) activity is used to measure its specific activity (SA). The SA is > 20 pmole/min/μg, at an absorbance of 400 nm with 2 mM of enzymatic substrate (4-Nitrophenyl acetate) and 2 μg enzyme in 50 μL of 12.5 mM Tris, 75 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. The increase of the product is monitored by increase in intensity of fluorescence at 400 nm.

How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?

We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!

What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?

The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.

Have your recombinants been tested for stability?

Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.

Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?

Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.

How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?

Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
