CXCL14 Protein, Human, Recombinant

CXCL14 is a CXC chemokine family that exhibits antimicrobial activity and contains an amphipathic cationic alpha-helical region in the C-terminus, a characteristic structure of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) . CXCL14 is involved in cell recruitment, migration, activation, and homing in liver diseases and have been shown to be upregulated during acute liver injury in animal models. The CXC chemokine ligand 14 (CXCL14) had been show highly expressed in tumor-associated stromal cells, promoting tumor cell growth, and invasion. The stimulation of dysregulated CXCL14 expression by P. gingivalis may help promote dysbiosis and the development of chronic periodontitis. The level of CXCL14 expression may be a valuable adjuvant parameter to predict the prognosis of patients with oral carcinoma and may be a potential therapeutic target.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile 100mM NaH2PO4, 1M NaCl, pH 6.5. 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 CXCL14 consists of 77 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 9.4 KDa. It migrates as an approximately 15 KDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

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.
