Active Recombinant Human CTGF protein, His-Avi-tagged, Biotinylated

• Cat.No.: CTGF-2604H
• Product Overview: Biotinylated Recombinant Human CTGF protein(Gln 27 - Ala 349), fused with His-Avi tag, was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: His-Avi
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in Tris with Potassium glutamate and Arginine, pH7.0. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Immobilized Biotinylated Human CTGF Protein, His,Avitag at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) on streptavidin precoated (0.2 μg/well) plate, can bind Monoclonal Anti-Human CTGF Antibody, Human IgG1 with a linear range of 0.6-5 ng/mL.
• Molecular Mass: This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, followed by an Avi tag (Avitag™).The protein has a calculated MW of 39.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 40-42 kDa and 43-45 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
• Protein Length: Gln 27 - Ala 349
• Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
• Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is stable after storage at: -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.
