Active Recombinant Human Insulin

• Cat.No.: INS-256H
• Product Overview: INS Human Recombinant produced in Yeast is a two chain, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 51 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 5807 Dalton. Zinc content was found to be 0.4%. INS is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Species: S.cerevisiae
• Source: Human
• Tag: Non
• Description: INS decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
• Form: The protein was lyophilized from 50mM Sodium Chloride solution.
• Purity: Greater than 98.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Bio-activity: 27 units/mg. INS has been evaluated in cell culture (Human Foreskin Fibroblasts). The effective concentration range for use in defined media is 1-5ug/ml. However, the optimum concentration range for a particular application must be determined by the investigator.
• Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized INS in PBS pH-7.5.
• Storage: Lyophilized INS should be stored at 4°C. Upon reconstitution INS should be stored at -20°C to -80°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
