N-term |
C-term |
|
Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC |
Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Biological Activity |
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized NGAL/Lipocalin-2, His, Cynomolgus at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate can bind AntiNGAL Antibody, hFc Tag. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
Expression System |
HEK293 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight |
21.51 kDa |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 25-30 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
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 |
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications of various serious conditions, and early diagnosis is therefore critical for the treatment of AKI. Recent evidence demonstrates that neutrophil gelatinase- associated lipocalin (NGAL) is closely associated with AKI. Several experimental and clinical studies have shown that the expression of urine and serum NGAL increases significantly in AKI. NGAL shows potential to be a new effective early biochemical marker of AKI. Further studies are needed to confirm the significant advantages of NGAL in the diagnosis of early AKI and its value in clinical applications. |
