| Description | BTC Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 101 amino acids (32-111) and having a molecular mass of 11.3 kDa.BTC is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | E.coli. |
| Formulation | The BTC solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 5mM DTT, 0.2M NaCl and 20% glycerol. |
| Protein Background | Btc is a potent mitogen for retinal pigment epithelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. The effects of betacellulin are probably mediated by the egf receptor and other related receptors. |
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Betacellulin, Probetacellulin. |
