The Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein manufactured by Seafrom is suitable for studying SARS-CoV-2 virus-host interactions. The Coronavirus N protein is essential for coronavirus RNA synthesis and exhibits RNA chaperone activity, which may be involved in template switching. It is the most abundant protein in coronaviruses. The N protein's primary role is to package the positive-strand viral genome RNA into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP). Additionally, it plays a fundamental role during virion assembly by interacting with the viral genome and the membrane protein M. The N protein also plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of subgenomic viral RNA transcription and viral replication. Due to the conserved sequence and strong immunogenicity of the N protein, it is commonly used as a diagnostic tool for coronaviruses. Storage Information: 1. Lyophilized samples can be stored at 4°C for 24 months, and reconstituted liquid can be stored at -20°C for 6-12 months, while avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 2. Liquid samples can be stored at -20 to -80°C for 12 months, and after thawing, should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C for an additional 6-12 months, while avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
