Lefty A (Left-Right Determination, Factor A (LEFTA)

• Gene Name:

  [LEFTA]

• Reactivity:

  Human

• Storage Conditions:

  May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

• Specificity:

  Recognizes 6X His tagged human LEFTY at 30kD. No reactivity occurs against 6X HIS tag. Significant sequence homology exists between the human and mouse forms of LEFTY. Species sequence homology: mouse and rat.

• Short Name:

  [Lefty A (Left-Right Determination, Factor A (LEFTA)]
