TFPI Protein (C-His, Mouse)

Measured by its ability to inhibit trypsin cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-RPKPVE-Nval-WRK (Dnp) -NH2 (Anaspec, Catalog # 27114) . The IC50 value is < 0.5 nM, as measured in 100μL reaction mixture containing 1.25 ng trypsin (Sigma, Catalog # T4799), 10 μM substrate, 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2 , 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05% Brij 35, pH 7.5 .

The secreted recombinant mouse TFPI consists of 272 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 31 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the recombinant protein migrates as an approximately 45 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
