Description
Pro NGF is the pro-form of the neurotrophin nerve growth factor. Like the mature protein pro NGF is characterized by the cysteine knot motif consisting of three cysteine bridges. The protein predominantly exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer.Pro-Nerve Growth Factor Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 224 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 50KDa.The Pro NGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
ProNGF was lyophilized from a 0.2 µM filtered solution of 20mM PB and 250mM NaCl pH 7.2.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized ProNGF in 1xPBS to a concentration no less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized ProNGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution ProNGF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
