Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the dose-dependant proliferation of the SH-SY5Y cell line and is typically 4-8 ng/mL. The activity can also be determined by its ability to promote survival and neurite outgrowth.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Artemin purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by analysis by HpLC and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Artemin is a novel member of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GNDF) ligand family. Current evidence suggests that Artemin signals through the receptor complex, GFRα3-RET, to influence neuron survival in vitro and in vivo. Recombinant human Artemin is a non-glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimer, containing two 113 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 24.2 kDa.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
Other: User Optimized
