Theoretical Molecular Weight |
15.19 kDa |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
The protein has a predicted MW of 15.19 kDa same as Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM HAc (pH 2.9). |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 50 mM HAc (pH 2.9). |
Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background |
Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15), also known as NSAID activated gene-1 (NAG-1), is associated with a large number of biological processes and diseases, including cancer and obesity. GDF15 is synthesized as pro-GDF15, is dimerized, and is cleaved and secreted into the circulation as a mature dimer GDF15. |
