Human recombinant HMGB1 (High mobility group box 1) protein, AF

High mobility group protein B1 protein (HMGB1) is the high mobility group box family of non-histone chromosomal proteins. Human HMGB1 is expressed as a 25 kDa single chain polypeptide containing three domains: two N-terminal HMG boxes A and B, and a negatively charged 30 aa C-terminal region that contains only Asp and Glu. Post-translational modification on HMGB1 have been reported, affect its localization, receptor interactions, and function. HMGB1, with a disulfide bond between C23 and C45, that cause cytokine production and the activation of NF-κB. Otherwise, the fully oxidized form has no immune function, losing its proinflammatory effect and the apoptotic cell death activation function.

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 TNF alpha in RAW264.7 cells. The ED50 for this effect is <10 μg/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 25.70 kDa. The protein migrates as 25-35 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.
