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 ability to induce alkaline phosphatase activity in ATDC5 cells is typically 0.1-1 μg/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Growth and Differentiation Factor-5 purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by analysis by HpLC, UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Growth/Differentiation Factor 5 (GDF-5) is a growth factor that regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in embryonic and adult tissues. GDF-5 is part of the TGF family of proteins and is closely related to the BMP family of proteins. Recombinant human GDF-5 is a non-glycosylated homodimer, containing two 120 amino acids chains, with a total molecular weight of 27.4 kDa. To enable bacterial expression the N-terminal sequence of Ala-Pro-Leu-Thr was replaced with a Lys.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
