Recombinant Human Growth Differentiation Factor 15

• Cat.No.: GDF15-337H

Specification

• Cat. No.: GDF15-337H
• Description: Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that has a role in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways in injured tissues and during disease processes. GDF15 is also known as TGF-PL, MIC-1, PDF, PLAB, and PTGFB. GDF15 is predominantly expressed in the liver, with lower levels seen in some other tissues.
• Source: CHO.
• Molecular Weight: The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human MIC-1 is Mr 13 kDa. However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS Page is Mr 14 kDa.
• State Of Matter: Lyophilized.
• Purity: >97% by SDS Page and analyzed by silver stain.
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method.
• Storage And Stability: This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2°C to 8°C for one month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.
