Recombinant Human Growth Differentiation Factor 9

• Cat.No.: GDF9-245H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human GDF-9 produced inE.coliis a 31.0 kDa non-disulfide-linked homodimer containing two 135 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Specification

• Cat. No.: GDF9-245H
• Description: GDF-9 is a member of the TGF-β superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, and is highly homologous to GDF-3. Unlike most TGF-family members, GDF-9 and GDF-3 are not disulfide-linked dimers. GDF-3 is expressed in adult bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and adipose tissue. GDF-9 is expressed in oocytes and is required for normal ovarian folliculogenesis.
• Source: E.coli.
• Purity: > 98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis.
• Endotoxin level: < 0.1 ng per μg of GDF-9.
• Stabilizer: None.
• Formulation: Lyophilized.
• Biologically Activity: Testing in progress.
• Reconstitution: The human GDF-9 should be reconstituted in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can be diluted in water or other buffer solutions or stored at -20℃.
• Stability: The lyophilized protein is stable for a few weeks at room temperature, but best stored at -20°C. Reconstituted human GDF-9 should be stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
