Recombinant Human precursor form of Nerve Growth Factor/pro-NGF produced in E. coli is a non-glycosylated non-covalently linked homodimer with each polypeptide chain containing 222 amino acids with an extra N-terminal Met with a molecular mass of 25kDa.
纯度
> 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
过滤
0.2 μm filtered
内毒素水平
Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
缓冲液
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 250 mM NaCl, pH 7.2.
注意事项
Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.
储存条件
4 °C/-20 °C/-80 °C
储存方法
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
The precursor form of the nerve growth factor (proNGF) like its mature form is characterized by the cystin knot motif consisting of three cystine bridges, whereas proneurotrophins and mature neurotrophins elicit opposite biological effects. ProNGF functions preferentially via the complex of pan-neurotrophin receptor p75 (p75NTR) and vps10p domain-containing receptor sortilin inducing neuronal apoptosis and contributing to age- and disease-related neurodegeneration.
