Catalog #: CYT-246
Description:
Nerve Growth Factor-beta Human Recombinant produced in CHO is a noncovalently disulfide linked homodimer, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 2 identical 118 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 26.5 kDa.
The NGF-b is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms:
Beta Polypeptide, NGF, NGFB, HSAN5, Beta-NGF, MGC161426, MGC161428.
Source:
Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells.
Amino Acid Sequence:
Was analyzed by Mass spectrometry.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NGF-b in sterile 18MΩ–cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution in 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8 & 0.15M NaCl.
Stability:
Lyophilized Nerve Growth Factor b although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Nerve Growth Factor-beta should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C.
For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Activity:
The ED50, calculated by its ability to stimulate chick E9 DRG neurite outgrowth was found to be < 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1 x 106 units/mg.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Protein Content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.1945 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Nerve Growth Factor-b Recombinant as a Reference Standard.
Usage:
