| Description : |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. This group of proteins is characterized by a polybasic proteolytic processing site which is cleaved to produce a mature protein containing seven conserved cysteine residues. The members of this family are regulators of cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues. This gene is thought to encode a secreted protein which negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth. |

| Endotoxin : |
Endotoxin level as measured by LAL is <0.01ng/ug or <0.1EU/ug. |
| Purity : |
Purity Greater than 95% |
| Stability : |
Lyophilized product is very stable at -20°C. Reconstituted material should be aliquoted and frozen at -20°C. It is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) for long term storage. |
| Reconstitution : |
Centrifuge vial before opening. When reconstituting the product, gently pipet and wash down the sides of the vial to ensure full recovery of the protein into solution. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized product with sterile 20 mM HCl at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml, which can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions. |
