TRAIL / APO2 Ligand Human Recombinant ( TRAIL Human )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a filtered (0.2um) solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 and 150mM NaCl.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TRAIL in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

TRAIL/APO 2 Ligand Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 168 amino acids (Met+Arg115-Gly281) and having a molecular mass of ~21kDa. The sTRAIL is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a ligand molecule which induces apoptosis. It is a type II transmembrane protein with homology to other members of the tumor necrosis factor family.In humans, the gene that encodes for TRAIL is located at c

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 10, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, Protein TRAIL, Apo-2 ligand, Apo-2L, CD253 antigen, TL2, APO2L, TNFSF10.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized APO 2 Ligand although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TRAIL should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to
