Mouse recombinant CXCL2 (C-X-C motif chemokine 2) protein, AF

C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (CXCL2) also named Growth-regulated oncogene beta (GROβ), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL2 is a 8.1 kDa protein containing 73 amino acid residues. CXCL2 is often expressed in immune cells such as macrophages and monocytes. CXCL2 plays an important role with immune responses and cancer progression. CXCL2 activates the cell signal transduction with casepas1 that affects the cell proliferation, differentiation and migration.

Applications

Cell Culture

Purification

>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin

<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Bioactivity

Measure by its ability to chemoattract BaF3 cells transfected with human CXCR2. The ED50 for this effect is <0.5 ng/mL.

Form

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.

Molecular Weight

The protein has a calculated MW of 8.66 kDa. The protein migrates below 11 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis) .

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.
