| Description : |
Endostatin is a cleaved product of the carboxyl-terminal domain of collagen XVIII. It functions as an anti-angiogenic cytokine that is expressed in various organs especially with high levels in liver, lung, and kidney. Endostatin inhibits angiogenesis by blocking the pro-angiogenic activities of VEGF and FGF-basic. |
| Form : |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Bio-activity : |
Determined by Endothelial Cell Tube Formation. The cells treated with 10 μg/mL Endostatin showed significant anti-angiogenesis effect. |
| Molecular Mass : |
~20.2 kDa, observed by reducing SDS-PAGE. |

| Endotoxin : |
Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 EU/μg) of Endostatin. |
| Purity : |
Greater than 97% by SDS-PAGE |
| Storage : |
The lyophilized Endostatin is stable for a few weeks at room temperature, but best stored at -20 centigrade. For the first use, reconstitute in water, aliquot and store at -20 centigrade to avoid multiple freeze-thaws. |
| Storage Buffer : |
The sterile filtered solution was lyophilized with 17 mM citric-phosphate buffer, pH 6.2. |
| Reconstitution : |
Reconstituted in ddH2O or PBS at 100 μg/mL. |
