SEC61A (SEC61 alpha, HSEC61, Protein Transport Protein SEC61 alpha Subunit Isoform 1, Protein Transport Protein Sec61 Subunit alpha Isoform 1, Sec61 alpha 1, Sec61 alpha 1 Subunit, Sec61 alpha1, SEC61A1, SEC61, Sec61 Homolog)

SEC61A1 belongs to the SECY/SEC61 alpha family. It has similarity to a mouse protein which suggests a role in the insertion of secretory and membrane polypeptides into the endoplasmic reticulum.The SEC61 complex is responsible for translocation of proteins across the rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. SEC61 is composed of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma; that associate to form a heterotrimer. Multiple heterotrimers associate forming the ER translocon. SEC61 alpha is a polytopic protein that has ten membrane-spanning loops. SEC61 has been found to be tightly associated with membrane bound ribosomes, either directly or through adaptor proteins, and is required for assembly of membrane and secretory proteins.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
