DescriptionTumor Necrosis Factor-a Human Recombinant His produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 157 amino acids fragment (77-233) and having a molecular mass of 21.85 kDa with an amino-terminal hexahistidine
Data sheet
| Formulation | TNF-a His is supplied in 1xPBS. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TNF-α in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity | Greater than 97.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description | Tumor Necrosis Factor-a Human Recombinant His produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 157 amino acids fragment (77-233) and having a molecular mass of 18.3kDa with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. The TNF-alpha His is purified by standard chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | Tumor necrosis factor is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and is a member of a group of cytokines that all stimulate the acute phase reaction. TNF is mainly secreted by macrophages. TNF causes apoptotic cell death, cellular proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, tumorigenesis and viral replication, TNF is also involved in lipid metabolism, and coagulation. TNF's primary role is in the regulation of immune cells.Dysregulation and, in particular, overproduction of TNF have been implicated in a variety of human diseases- autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms | TNF-alpha, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2, TNF-a, Cachectin, DIF, TNFA, TNFSF2. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability | Lyophilized TNF-a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TNF-a 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 add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity | EC50 0.200-0.120ng/ml measured in a metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D assay using L-cells (ATCC CCL-1). |
