Human Glial growth factor (GGF2) Recombinant

• Background:

  Neuregulins (NDF, heregulin, GGF, ARIA, or SMDF) are EGF-like growth and differentiation factors that signal through tyrosine kinase receptors of the ErbB family. The ErbB2 and ErbB4 receptors cooperate in transmission of neuregulin-1 signals in the heart, whereas ErbB2 and ErbB3 cooperate in neural crest cells.

• Description:

  Recombinant human GGF2 (Glial growth factor) is a disulfide-linked monomeric protein consisting of 315 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 34 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Neuregulin-1 isoform 9 (GGF2) was expressed inE. coli.

• UniProt:

  Q02297

• Endotoxin:

  < 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg), using the LAL gel clot method.

• Purity:

  ≥ 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

• Format:

  Lyophilized protein

• Reconstitution:

  Reconstitute at 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in distilled water. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. To maximize product collection from vial surface, vortex briefly and then spin down to recollect the liquid.

• Shipping Conditions:

  Gel Packs or Dry Ice

• Storage Conditions:

  The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, store in working aliquots at +4°C for up to one month, or at -20°C for up to six months, in the presence of a carrier protein. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

• Calculated Molecular Weight:

  34 kDa

• Formulation:

  Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0.
