Description : |
The protein encoded by this gene was originally identified as a 44-kD glycoprotein that interacts with the NEU/ERBB2 receptor tyrosine kinase to increase its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues. This protein is a signaling protein that mediates cell-cell interactions and plays critical roles in the growth and development of multiple organ systems. It is known that an extraordinary variety of different isoforms are produced from this gene through alternative promoter usage and splicing. These isoforms are tissue-specifically expressed and differ significantly in their structure, and thereby these isoforms are classified into types I, II, III, IV, V and VI. The gene dysregulation has been linked to diseases such as cancer, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BPD). |

HIS |
Tissue specificity : |
Type I isoforms are the predominant forms expressed in the endocardium. Isoform alpha is expressed in breast, ovary, testis, prostate, heart, skeletal muscle, lung, placenta liver, kidney, salivary gland, small intestine and brain, but not in uterus, stom |
Biological activity : |
Bioactivity:Bioactivity is assayed by measuring the dose dependent effect of Human NRG1 on proliferation of MCF7 cells. ED50 is calculated from the effect of serial dilutions on cell proliferation. The ED50 for this batch is 2.9 ng/ml according to this as |
Form : |
Lyophilised:It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile phosphate-buffered saline to a concentration of no less than 100 μg/ml. For long term storage of the reconstituted solution it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% H |
