Scientific Background
Twisted gastrulation (TWSG1 or TSG) is a cysteine-rich 24 kDa glycoprotein. It is a secreted BMP binding protein that modulates BMP ligand availability in extracellular space. Human TSG shares 98% aa identity with mouse and rat TSG, and 99.5% aa identity with canine, equine, bovine and porcine TSG. Glycosylation and bioactivity of TWSG1 recombinant proteins vary markedly by cellular source. Non-glycosylated hTWSG1 made in E.

Functional Activity
Determined by its ability to neutralize BMP-6 induced alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 chondrogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 2 μg/ml of TSG.
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 (HEK293) 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: Determined by its ability to neutralize BMP-6 induced alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 chondrogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 2 μg/ml of TSG.. 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 Twisted Gastrulation (TSG), remains stable up to 6 months at -80°C from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, Human Twisted Gastrulation should be stable up to 1 week at 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.
