Description
GMF-beta is a 17-kDa brain-specific protein that was isolated from bovine brain homogenate as a substance inducing the maturation of normal neurons as well as glial cells, and at first, it was considered to be a neurotrophic factor. The amino acid sequence of GMFB is highly conserved among many species, suggesting that it plays basic roles across many species. The expression of GMF-b is largely limited to the brain, especially the glial cells and some neurons. Schwann cells of the distal segment of the transected nerve express GMF-b, and this induction of GMF-b coincides with the temporal expression of nerve growth factor receptors in the cell.

Ambient Temperature
Storage Conditions
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
