Product Name
EGF Protein, Human, Recombinant (ECD, hFc Tag)
Synonyms
Epidermal Growth Factor Protein, Human; HOMG4 Protein, Human; URG Protein, Human
Purity
> 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Endotoxin
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
Activity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/C 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.3-1.5 ng/mL.
Protein Construction
A DNA sequence encoding the mature soluble form of human EGF (NP_001954.2) (Asn 971-Arg 1023) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus.
Expressed Host
HEK293 Cells
Molecule Mass
The recombinant human Fc/EGF chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 290 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 33 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhFc/EGF monomer is approximately 37 kDa due to the glycosylation.
Formulation
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
Stability & Storage
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
