Scientific Background
Noggin, also known as NOG, is a homodimeric glycoprotein that bindsto and modulates the activity of TGF-beta family ligands. It is expressed in condensing cartilage and immature chondrocytes. Noggin antagonizes bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) activities by blocking epitopes on BMPs needed for binding to their receptors. Noggin has been shown to be involved in many developmental processes, such as neural tube formation and joint formation. During development, Noggin diffuses through extracellular matrices and forms morphogenic gradients, regulating cellular responses dependent on the local concentration of the signaling molecule.

Functional Activity
ED50<2.5 ng/ml, measured in a bioassay using ATDC5 cells in the presence of 10ng/ml human BMP-4.
Safety & Handling
This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. For research use only.
This protein was produced in Mammalian (CHO Cells) expression system. Expression system selection determines glycosylation profile, folding, and post-translational modifications. For cell-based stimulation assays, verify the expression system matches the glycosylation requirements of your target receptor or pathway.
Reconstituted in ddH2O or PBS at 100 μg/ml. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or PBS at 100 µg/mL as a standard starting concentration. Allow to dissolve at 4°C for 30 minutes without vortexing. Prepare working aliquots in 0.1% BSA carrier protein and store at −80°C.
This protein has been validated for functional bioactivity: ED50<2.5 ng/ml, measured in a bioassay using ATDC5 cells in the presence of 10ng/ml human BMP-4.. Optimal working concentrations may vary depending on your cell type, assay format, and culture conditions. Titrate the protein in a dose-response experiment to determine the optimal concentration for your system.
Endotoxin level is <0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method. as determined by the LAL method. Low endotoxin is critical for cell-based studies because endotoxin activates NF-κB and TLR4 signalling in immune cells, producing artefactual cytokine induction that can completely mask the true biological activity of the recombinant protein.
Lyophilized recombinant human Noggin remains stable up to 6 months at -80°C from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, human Nogginshould be stable up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 2 months at -20°C. Upon receipt, immediately store at −80°C. Prepare single-use working aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized protein is stable for 6–12 months at −80°C from the date of receipt.
