Recombinant Human Lipocalin 2

• Cat.No.: LCN2-4930H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human Lipocalin-2 consisting of 178 amino acids (a.a. 21-198, Accession NP_00555) was expressed from E. coli and purified using proprietary technology.

Specification

• Cat. No.: LCN2-4930H
• Description: Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2), a secreted glycoprotein, is an adipokine that potentially connects obesity and its related adipose inflammation. Lipocalin-2 has also been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation, tumorigenesis, and apoptosis.
• Biological Activity: Test in process
• Molecular Weight: 20 kDa
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Form: Lyophilized without additives.
• Appearance: Lyophilized protein
• Endotoxin Level: <0.1 EU/µg protein
• Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration 0.1-1 mg/ml. The solution can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
• Storage: Store at -20°C as supplied. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C. Stable for up to 3 months. Avoid freeze/thaw cycle. For long term storage, it's recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA).
