Phospholamban Adenovirus
Phospholamban (PLB, sarco(endo)plasmic-reticulum (SER) regulatory protein) is a 52 amino acid phospho-protein that assembles into a pentamer in the plasma membrane of SER cardiac, smooth and slow-twitch muscle. PLB may regulate cardiac contractility through modulation of SER Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a). Nonphosphorylated PLB binds to SERCA2a and inhibits Ca2+ re-uptake into the SER. Phosphorylation of PLB causes dissociation from SERCA2a, allowing Ca2+ uptake into the SER and subsequent ventricular relaxation.

Description (Vector)
PLN is found as a pentamer and is a major substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in cardiac muscle. The encoded protein is an inhibitor of cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase in the unphosphorylated state, but inhibition is relieved upon phosphorylation of the protein. The subsequent activation of the Ca(2+) pump leads to enhanced muscle relaxation rates, thereby contributing to the inotropic response elicited in heart by beta-agonists. The encoded protein is a key regulator of cardiac diastolic function. Mutations in this gene are a cause of inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
