• Field of Research:

  Immunology

• Relevance:

  Secreted growth factor that induces neurite outgrowth and which is mitogenic for fibroblasts, epithelial, and endothelial cells. Binds anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) which induces MAPK pathway activation, an important step in the anti-apoptotic signaling of PTN and regulation of cell proliferation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11278720, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1768439}.

• Endotoxin:

  Less than 1.0 EU/μg as determined by LAL method.

• Purity:

  >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  Yes

• Bioactivity:

  Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity was measured by its ability to enhance neurite outgrowth of E16­E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons, when neurons were plated on 96 well culture plates that had been pre­coated with 100 µl/well of a solution of 5­10 µg/ml rHuPTN.

• Form:

  Lyophilized powder

• Buffer:

  Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS, pH 7.4

• Reconstitution:

  We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

• Function:

  Secreted growth factor that induces neurite outgrowth and which is mitogenic for fibroblasts, epithelial, and endothelial cells

• Molecular Weight:

  15.3 kDa

• Storage Conditions:

  The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
