| Cat. No. : |
GMFB-04H |
| Description : |
GMF-β, a brain-specific protein that belongs to the actin-binding proteins (ADF) structural family. GMF-β appears to play a role in the differentiation, maintenance, and regeneration of the nervous system. It also supports the progression of certain auto-immune diseases, possibly through its ability to induce the production and secretion of various pro-inflammatory cytokines. |
| Purity : |
>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
| Formulation : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated (1.0mg/ml) solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 130mM NaCl. |
| Biological Activity : |
The biological activity was determined by the does-dependent stimulation of thymidine uptake by BaF3 cells expressing FGF receptors yielding an ED50 <0.5ng/ml. |
| Endotoxin : |
Less than 1EU/μg of rHuGMF-β as determined by LAL method. |
| Reconstitution : |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
| Storage : |
This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
