SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC. VPS39 shRNA Plasmid (h): sc-90114-SH

BACKGROUND STORAGE AND RESUSPENSION Vacuolar sorting (VPSs) are required for proper trafficking of endocytic Store lyophilized shRNA plasmid DNA at 4° C with desiccant. Stable for and biosynthetic proteins to the vacuole and play an important role in the at least one year from the date of shipment. Once resuspended, store at budding process of cells. VPS39 (vacuolar sorting 39), also known as 4° C for short term storage or -80° C for long term storage. Avoid repeated VAM6 or TLP, is an 886 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm, as freeze thaw cycles. well as to the lysosomal and endosomal membrane, and contains one CNH Resuspend lyophilized shRNA plasmid DNA in 200 µl of the deionized water domain. Expressed ubiquitously with highest expression in kidney, heart, lung, provided. Resuspension of the shRNA plasmid DNA in 200 µl of deionized brain, placenta and skeletal muscle, VPS39 functions as a homooligomer that water makes a 0.1 µg/µl solution in a 10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA buffered is thought to play a role in the clustering and fusion of endosomes and lyso- solution. somes. Multiple isoforms of VPS39 exist due to alternative splicing events. The encoding VPS39 maps to human 15, which houses over APPLICATIONS 700 and comprises nearly 3% of the . VPS39 shRNA Plasmid (h) is recommended for the inhibition of VPS39 REFERENCES expression in human cells. 1. Chapman, R.E. 1994. Vacuolar sorting. Tracking down an elusive receptor.
