Human recombinant TWEAK (TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis) protein, AF

TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is a type II membrane protein of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family members, high levels expression in human brain, muscle, heart, spleen, and thymus. TWEAK is a 17.3 kDa protein containing 129 residues. TWEAK induce apoptosis through cognate receptor Fn14 activate caspase-8 and caspase-3, in HSC3 cells KATO-III gastric adenocarcinoma cells and IFN-γ-treated HT-29. TWEAK stimulate inflammatory cytokines in HT-29, A375 cells, WI-38 fibroblast sand astrocytes.

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 induce proliferation in HUVEC cells. The ED50 for this effect is <6 ng/mL.

Form

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0. 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 17.88 kDa. The protein migrates as 18 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.
