Recombinant Human TGFA Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: TGFA-2763H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human TGFA Protein (Glu24-Ala98) with a N-His tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a growth factor that is a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, which activates a signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation and development. This protein may act as either a transmembrane-bound ligand or a soluble ligand. This gene has been associated with many types of cancers, and it may also be involved in some cases of cleft lip/palate. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 11.7 kDa
  Accurate Molecular Mass: 15 kDa
• Protein length: Glu24-Ala98
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU per 1µg (determined by the LAL method).
• Purity: > 97%
• Applications: Cell culture; Activity Assays.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 centigrade for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
• Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8 centigrade for one month. Aliquot and store at -80 centigrade for 12 months.
• Storage Buffer: 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl (pH8.0) to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex.
