Human Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)

Long name

Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)
Gene name

Nerve Growth Factor
Category

Recombinant proteins
Storage and handling

For short term storage the vial may be kept refrigerated in the temperature range of 1 to 6 degrees Celcius. For long term storage, keep the protein frozen at -20 deg. C. Avoid cycles of freezing and twaing as they may denaturate the peptide chains of the protein, thus changing its structure and properties.
Description

Aplha, transcription related growth factors and stimulating factors or repressing nuclear factors are complex subunits of proteins involved in cell differentiation. Complex subunit associated factors are involved in hybridoma growth, Eosinohils, eritroid proliferation and derived from promotor binding stimulating subunits on the DNA binding complex. NFKB 105 subunit for example is a polypetide gene enhancer of genes in B cells.
Properties

Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
