Active Recombinant Human COMP protein(Met1-Ala757), His-tagged

• Cat.No.: COMP-674H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human COMP (NP_000086.2) precusor (Met 1-Ala 757) was expressed in HEK293 with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: C-His
• Protein length: Met1-Ala757
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to induce adhesion of ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells. When cells are added to COMP-coated plates (0.625 μg/mL and 100 μL/well), approximately >30% cells will adhere specifically after 60 minutes at 37°C.
• Molecular Mass: The mature form of human COMP consists of 748 amino acids after removal of the signal peptide and predicts a molecular mass of 82.4 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rhCOMP is approximately 120-130 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 80 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C. Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.
