Active Recombinant Human GDF15

• Cat.No.: GDF15-268H
• Product Overview: GDF15 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 2x113 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 24.5 kDa. The GDF15 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Description: Bone morphogenetic proteins (e.g., BMP9; MIM 605120) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (see TGFB1; MIM 190180) superfamily and regulate tissue differentiation and maintenance. They are synthesized as precursor molecules that are processed at a dibasic cleavage site to release C-terminal domains containing a characteristic motif of 7 conserved cysteines in the mature protein.
• Source: E.Coli
• Species: Human
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. GDF15 is lyophilized without additives.
• Bio-activity: The biological activity was assessed by the inhibition of DU-145 cells and was found to be 1-2μg/ml.
• Molecular Mass: 24.5 kDa
• AA Sequence: MARNGDHCPL GPGRCCRLHT VRASLEDLGW ADWVLSPREV QVTMCIGACP SQFRAANMHA QIKTSLHRLK PDTVPAPCCV PASYNPMVLI QKTDTGVSLQ TYDDLLAKDC HCI.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE.
• Stability: Lyophilized GDF15 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GDF15 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GDF15 in sterile 5mM AcOH (acetic Acid) at a concentration of 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
