• Formulation Tris-based buffer50% glycerol
• Storage The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20˚C,-80˚C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20˚C,-80˚C.
  Notes:Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4˚C for up to one week.

Second messenger, cAMP, causes the opening of cation-selective cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels and depolarization of the neuron (olfactory sensory neurons, OSNs). CNGA4 is the modulatory subunit of this channel which is known to play a central role in the transduction of odorant signals and subsequent adaptation. By accelerating the calcium-mediated negative feedback in olfactory signaling it allows rapid adaptation to odor stimulation and extends its range of odor detection (By similarity).
