If I were to have a putative gene sequence, how would I determine its protein and likely function by laboratory techniques?

Here's what I'm currently thinking:
>Isolate the specific gene of interest
>Amplify the DNA sequence
>Insert into vector and transform into an organism
>Isolate the expressed recombinant protein
>Isolate the proteins by size & MW (SDS-PAGE then MW Chromatography?)
>Determine AA sequence of protein by Western blot (?)
>DNA Microarray to determine localisation & expression of that gene sequence
>Then finally gene knockout in a species to observe function & functional gene

how about:

Use a computer to look for open reading frames.

it would be easiest to order the gene from a synthetic lab, and place a terminal 6x his tag (or any sort of affinity tag, but with a proteolytic sequence in between to cleave tag after all is said and done). then express in organism, purify via nickel column, cleave tag, then characterize protein

also, you cannot determine aa sequence from wb analysis noob. you might just do repetitive edman degradation

X-ray crystallography

Fuck doing it experimentally. Sequence the fucker and then BLAST it.
