| Description | 17kDa protein containing 151 amino acid residues of the Neuroglobin human. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | Filtered and lyophilized from 0.5mg/ml in 0.05M phosphate buffer, 0.1M NaCl, pH 7.2. |
| Protein Background | Neuroglobin, 151 amino acid residue protein, mainly expressed in vertebrate brain and retina, is a recently identified member of the globin superfamily. Augmenting O (2) supply, neuroglobin promotes survival of neurons upon hypoxic injury, potentially limiting brain damage. Moreover, neuroglobin may be a novel oxidative stress-responsive sensor for signal transduction in the brain. Neuroglobin expression is increased by neuronal hypoxia in vitro and focal cerebral ischemia in vivo, and neuronal survival after hypoxia is reduced by inhibiting neuroglobin expression with an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide and enhanced by neuroglobin overexpression. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility | Add 0.2 ml of H2O and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. |
| Stability | Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C. |
| Synonyms | NGB. |
