Active adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing

• Cat.No.: Adipoq-48M
• Product Overview: Trimeric form of adiponectin was expressed inHEK293 cells. The cysteine 39 was replaced with alanine (C39A) 9. mAd-C39A can only form trimer, but not hexamer or HMW form.

Specification

• Cat. No.: Adipoq-48M
• Description: Adiponectin is a hormone exclusively expressed from adipose tissue. Many studies demonstrate that adiponectin has direct anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory functions. APM-1 can increase insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle, attenuate hepatic lipogenesis and luconeogenesis, regulate NO production in endothelial cells, inhibit proliferation of smooth muscle cells and prevent lipid accumulation of macrophage cells. In the circulation, adiponectin is present as three different oligomeric complexes, including the high molecular weight (HMW), the middle molecular weight (MMW, also called hexamer) and low molecular weigh (MMW, also called trimer) forms 8. Different oligomeric complex of adiponectin activates different signaling pathways and exerts distinct functions.
• Source: HEK293 (Human embryonic kidney cell line).
• Purity: Greater 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Formulation: Sterile filtered and lyophilized from 0.5 mg/ml in 0.05M phosphate buffer, 0.05M NaCl, pH 7.2.
• Solubility: Add 0.2 ml of deionized water and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
• Activity: ED50= 3-8.5 μg/ml, as determined by its ability to inhibit proliferation of HASMCsinduced by HB EGF.
• Applications: In vitro, ex vivo and in vivo activity analysis, binding assay et al.
• Storage: Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C. The lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at -20°C.
