Description
Data Sheet
| Amino acid sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Asp-Gly-Asn-Ser-Thr. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependent proliferation of murine BALBC 3T3 cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is |
| Description | Betacellulin Bovine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 80 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9003 Dalton. Betacellulin Bovine Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The Betacellulin Bovine Recombinant was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 50mM acetic acid. |
| 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 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized BTC Bovine in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Betacellulin Bovine Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution BTC Bovine should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
