Measured in a cell proliferation assay using BALB/c 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.05-0.3ng/mL.
Protein Construction
A DNA sequence encoding the rat EGF (NP_036974.1) (Asn974-Arg1026) was expressed and purified with an initial Met.
Accession#

Met
Molecule Mass
The recombinant rat EGF consists of 54 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 6.3 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 6-9 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Formulation
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.Please 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.
