Background: Neuregulins (NDF, heregulin, GGF, ARIA, or SMDF) are EGF-like growth and differentiation factors that signal through tyrosine kinase receptors of the ErbB family. The ErbB2 and ErbB4 receptors cooperate in transmission of neuregulin-1 signals in the heart, whereas ErbB2 and ErbB3 cooperate in neural crest cells.
Biological Activity: The ED50 was determined by the dose-dependent phosphorylation of human MCF-7 cells was found to be <20 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5 x 104 Units/mg.
Description: Recombinant human GGF2 (Glial growth factor) is a disulfide-linked monomeric protein consisting of 315 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 34 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Neuregulin-1 isoform 9 (GGF2) was expressed in E. coli.
Endotoxin Level: <0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg), using the LAL gel clot method.
Format: lyophilized protein
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0.
Genbank: Q02297
Purity: ≥95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Reconstitution: Reconstitute at 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in distilled water. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. To maximize product collection from vial surface, vortex briefly and then spin down to recollect the liquid.
Storage Stability: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, store in working aliquots at +4°C for up to one month, or at -20°C for up to six months, in the presence of a carrier protein. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Uniprot: Q02297
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
