Product Description
Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin/Lipocalin-2 Human Recombinant
Overview
Recombinant Human Lipocalin-2 also called Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) belongs to a family of lipocans which include 25 proteins (including a1-microglobulin and b-lactoglobulin), which are characterized by their ability to bind small lipophilic substances in their hydrophobic core.They thereby serve as transporters of substances like retinal, biliverdins & prostaglandins. There are indications that NGAL is involved in modulation of the inflammatory response and is found in the plasma of patients after stroke.
Biological Activity
The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using human TF-1 cells is less than 0.5ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 1,000,000 IU/mg.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | LCN2 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.05 % Tween-20. |
| Storage | Lyophilized LCN2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution LCN2 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. |
| Expression System | Escherichia Coli. |
