Recombinant Human GCG Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GCG-2196H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human GCG Protein (His146-Asp178*2) with a N-His tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: His146-Asp178*2
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is actually a preproprotein that is cleaved into four distinct mature peptides. One of these, glucagon, is a pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Glucagon is a ligand for a specific G-protein linked receptor whose signalling pathway controls cell proliferation. Two of the other peptides are secreted from gut endocrine cells and promote nutrient absorption through distinct mechanisms. Finally, the fourth peptide is similar to glicentin, an active enteroglucagon.
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 11.2 kDa
  Accurate Molecular Mass: 11 kDa
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU per 1µg (determined by the LAL method).
• Purity: > 95%
• Applications: Positive Control; Immunogen; SDS-PAGE; WB.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 centigrade for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
• Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8 centigrade for one month. Aliquot and store at -80 centigrade for 12 months.
• Storage Buffer: PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.01% SKL, 1mM DTT, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in ddH2O to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL. Do not vortex.
