NRG1 Beta 1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (ECD, Fc Tag)

Neuregulin 1 or NRG1 is one of four proteins in the neuregulin family that act on the EGFR family of receptors. This growth factor was originally identified as a 44-kD glycoprotein that interacts with the NEU / ERBB2 receptor tyrosine kinase to increase its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues. NRG1 is a trophic factor that has been implicated in neural development, neurotransmission, and synaptic plasticity. NRG1 has multiple isoforms that are generated by the usage of different promoters and alternative splicing of a single gene. Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is essential for the development and function of multiple organ systems, and its dysregulation has been linked to diseases such as cancer and schizophrenia. NRG1 is a schizophrenia candidate gene and plays an important role in brain development and neural function. Schizophrenia is a complex disorder, with etiology likely due to epistasis.

1. Immobilized Human ERBB3 His (Cat: PH50963M2) at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind Human NRG1 Fc (Cat: PH51626M3), the ECof Human NRG1 Fc is 8-40 ng/mL. 2. Immobilized Rhesus ERBB3 His (Cat: PK54066M2) at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind Human NRG1 Fc (Cat: PH51626M3), the ECof Human NRG1 Fc is 20-80 ng/mL.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human NRG1 (aa2-246) /Fc chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 505 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 55.2 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 75 kDa due to glycosylation.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

A DNA sequence encoding the N-terminal fragment (Ser 2-Lys 246) of human NRG1 isoform beta1 (Q02297-6) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus.
