Fibrocyte-derived Protein, Melanoma Inhibitory Activity-like Protein

OTOR also named Otoraplin and MIAL, is a 15 kDa disulfide bonded homodimer, which is secreted via the Golgi apparatus and is a member of the MIA/OTOR family. The OTOR shares high sequence identity with the mouse (90%), chicken (80%), and bullfrog (60%) orthologs and with the related human CDRAP/MIA protein (43%). Members of this family which also includes MIA, MIA2, and TANGO share a Src homology-3 (SH3)-like domain. OTOR is mainly expressed in the cochlea of the inner-ear and appears to be involved in early chondrogenesis of the otic capsule, which is required for normal inner ear development and auditory function. It is highly homologous to MIA/cartilage-derived retinoic acidsensitive protein (CD-RAP), which is a cartilage-specific protein that is also expressed in malignant melanoma cells.

Approximately 12.7 kDa.

>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
