MENA 78 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. Epithelial Neutrophil-Activating Protein 78 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 93 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9.8kDa. The CXCL5 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5 (CXCL5) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as epithelial-derived neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78) . It is produced following stimulation of cells with the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Expression of CXCL5 has also been observed in eosinophils, and can be inhibited with the type II interferon IFN-. This chemokine stimulates the chemotaxis of neutrophils possesses angiogenic properties. It elicits these effects by interacting with the cell surface chemokine receptor CXCR2. The gene for CXCL5 is encoded on four exons and is located on human chromosome 4 amongst several other CXC chemokine genes. CXCL5 has been implicated in connective tissue remodelling.

C-X-C motif chemokine 5||Small-inducible cytokine B5||Cytokine LIX||Cxcl5||Scyb5||LIX||GCP-2||Scyb6||ENA-78||AMCF-II.

Purification

Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Components

Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated (1.0mg/mL) solution in 20mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 & 150mM NaCl.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized ENA-78 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CXCL5 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized ENA-78 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Determined by its ability to chemoattract human peripheral blood neutrophils using a concentration range of 10-100ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10,000-100,000IU/mg.
