Recombinant Murine Glia maturation factor beta (rMuGMF-β)

Glia maturation factor beta (GMF-β) coded by GMFb gene at chromosome 14 in mouse, is identical to human GMF-β, with the exception of two amino acid residues. It is a brain-specific protein that belongs to the actin-binding proteins (ADF) structural family, and plays an important role in the upstream regulation of excessive production and the releasing of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines in brain cells, leading to the destruction of oligodendrocytes, the myelin forming cells, and neurons.

Product Specifications

CAS Number

9000-83-3

Endotoxin

Less than 1EU/μg of rMuGMF-β as determined by LAL method.

Purity

>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Bioactivity

Data not available.

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Molecular Weight

Approximately 16.4 KDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 141 amino acid residues.

Storage Conditions

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Host or Source

Escherichia coli.

Recommended Usage

This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. Made in China
