Recombinant Human MMP9, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MMP9-44H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin is expressed inE. colihaving a molecular weight of 28.1 kDa fused to an amino terminal hexahistidine tag. The NGAL is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Cat. No.: MMP9-44H
• Description: Recombinant Human Lipocalin-2 also called Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) belongs to a family of lipocans which include 25 proteins (including α1-microglobulin and β-lactoglobulin), which are characterized by their ability to bind small lipophilic substances in their hydrophobic core. They thereby serve as transporters of substances like retinal, biliverdins & prostaglandins. There are indications that NGAL is involved in modulation of the inflammatory response and is found in the plasma of patients after stroke.
• Source: Escherichia Coli.
• Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered clear solution.
