Human Noggin protein

Noggin is a 46.2 kDa bioactive protein, which exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer (each chain 23.1 kDa). Noggin binds members of the transforming Growth Factors-beta (TGF beta) superfamily signaling proteins, such as bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4), which inactivates their activities. As a extracellular antagonist of BMP proteins, Noggin involves in the development of many body tissues, including nerve tissue, muscles, and bones. In addition, Noggin is able to inhibit chondrocyte differentiation through its interaction with GDF5.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
