PDIA3, also known as protein disulfide-isomerase A3, is a protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that interacts with lectin chaperones calreticulin and calnexin to modulate folding of newly synthesized glycoproteins. This protein has protein disulfide isomerase activity. PDIA3 is also part of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I peptide-loading complex (TAP1), which is essential for formation of the final antigen conformation and export from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-505 from human PDIA3, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~58.5kD(518aa) Specific Activity: > 20 A650/cm/min/mg. Enzymatic activity was confirmed by measuring the aggregation of insulin in the presence of DTT. Activity Assay: 1. Prepare a 180ul assay buffer into a suitable container: The concentrations are 0.67mM DTT, insulin 5.3mg, 1.2mM EDTA 2. Dilute insulin 8mg/ml in 3mM EDTA, pH 7.0, and incubate diluted insulin for 5 minutes at 37C. 3. Dilute PDIA3 to 300ug/ml in 0.1% BSA.
