Ligand for mbers of the frizzled family of seven transmbrane receptors. Plays a role in ventral mesodermal patterning during bryogenesis. Mimics Nieuwkoop center activity. Causes dorsal mesodermal differentiation of animal cap ectoderm when coexpressed with noggin and nuclear, sequence-specific DNA-binding protein xBra. None of these molecules causes dorsal mesoderm formation when expressed alone.

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

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.

Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Plays a role in ventral mesodermal patterning during embryogenesis. Mimics Nieuwkoop center activity. Causes dorsal mesodermal differentiation of animal cap ectoderm when coexpressed with noggin and nuclear, sequence-specific DNA-binding protein xBra. None of these molecules causes dorsal mesoderm formation when expressed alone.

The head inducer Cerberus is a multifunctional antagonist of Nodal, BMP and Wnt signals.Piccolo S., Agius E., Leyns L., Bhattacharyya S., Grunz H., Bouwmeester T., De Robertis E.M.Nature 397:707-710 (1999)

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.
