Recombinant Human CTGF is produced by our mammalian expression system in human cells. The target protein is expressed with sequence (AA 27-349 ) of Human CTGF fused with a FC tag at the C-terminus.
纯度
> 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
过滤
0.2 μm filtered
内毒素水平
Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
缓冲液
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
注意事项
Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.
储存条件
4 °C/-20 °C/-80 °C
储存方法
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
CTGF belongs to the CCN (CTGF/Cyr61/Cef10/NOVH) protein family, which is comprised of six secreted proteins that reside in the extracellular matrix (ECM). CTGF causes a variety of cellular responses including reduced cell adhesion and enhanced cell migration and proliferation. CTGF has also been shown to be essential for epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby normal functioning cells morph into ones that produce mainly scar tissue (of which collagen in the major protein component).
