| Use/Stability: | Stable for at least 6 months after receipt when stored at -20°C. |
| |
| Handling: | After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. |
| |
| Miscellaneous/General: | CTRP5 is a member of the CTRP familly designated as C1q tumor necrosis factor-related proteins. The CTRPs are paralogs of the adiponectin protein caracterized by an N-termius variable region and C-terminal globular domain (C1q). CTRP5 is a putative secreted protein. A mutation in CTRP5 gene has been genetically linked to the Late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD) disease wich lead to severe visual loss. |
