Recombinant Active Human GDF11 Protein, His-tagged(C-ter)

• Cat.No.: GDF11-103H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Active Human GDF11 Protein with His tag (C-ter) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. This group of proteins is characterized by a polybasic proteolytic processing site which is cleaved to produce a mature protein containing seven conserved cysteine residues. The members of this family are regulators of cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues. Studies in mice and Xenopus suggest that this protein is involved in mesodermal formation and neurogenesis during embryonic development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

• Tag: His
• Form: Powder
• Bio-activity: Determined by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 11 ng/mL. Determined by its ability to induce hemoglobin expression in K562 cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 4 ng/mL.
• AA Sequence: MNLGLDCDEHSSESRCCRYPLTVDFEAFGWDWIIAPKRYKANYCSGQCEYMFMQKYPHTHLVQQANPRGSAGPCCTPTKMSPINMLYFNDKQQIIYGKIPGMVVDRCGCS
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 EU/μg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test.
• Purity: > 98% (by SDS-PAGE)
• Applications: SDS-PAGE
• Notes: For laboratory research only, not for drug, diagnostic or other use.
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C for up to one month. Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Suggest spin the vial prior to opening.
• Storage Buffer: 20 mM Sodium citrate (pH 3.5) and 0.2 M NaCl.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile water to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min at room temperature to make sure the protein is dissolved completely.
