We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
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.
Involved in the utilization of cholesterol as the sole carbon and energy source by degrading the side chain during infection. Primarily catalyzes the sequential oxidation of the terminal methyl of cholest-4-en-3-one into (25S)-26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one (alcohol), (25S)-26-oxocholest-4-en-3-one (aldehyde), to finally yield the carboxylic acid (25S)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate. Also able to sequentially oxidize cholesterol itself, not only cholest-4-en-3-one.
