Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor (Beta Polypeptide)

• Cat.No.: NGF-28H

Specification

• Cat. No.: NGF-28H
• Description: Beta-NGF, also known as nerve growth factor beta-1, NGF-b1, or NGF-beta, is a neurotrophic factor that influences the growth and differentiation of sympathetic and sensory neurons. Beta-NGF, comprised alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, is a 26 kDa non-covalently associated homodimer with 2 potential N-linked glycosylation sites.
• Source: Mammalian cells
• Analysis Note: The biological activity is measured in a cell proliferation assay using a factor-dependent human erythroleukemic cell line, TF-1.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: NGF-β promotes the survival and cholinergic phenotype of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and stimulates neurite outgrowth of embryonic trigeminal motor neurons in vitro.
• Physical Form: Lyophilized from 0.2% acetic acid containing 5 mg bovine serum albumin.
• Assay: >97% (SDS-PAGE).
• Form: lyophilized powder.
• Potency: 0.15-3.0 ng/mL ED50/EC50.
• Total Impurities: endotoxin, tested.
• Suitability: cell culture tested.
• Storage Temp: −20°C.
