重组牛乙细胞素/BTC Bovine
| Introduction | 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. |
| 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. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation | The Betacellulin Bovine Recombinant was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 50mM acetic acid. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized BTC Bovine in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/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. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| 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 BALB\C 3T3 cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is < 10.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity 100,000 units/mg. |
| Protein content | Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.59 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (InliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of BTC as a Reference Standard. |
| Usage | ProSpec's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
