Myostatin Human Recombinant, Plant ( Myostatin Human, Plant )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from 1mg/ml solution in glycine 0.05M buffer at pH 8.5 and 100mM NaCl.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Myostatin 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 Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Myostatin Human Recombinant produced in Nicotiana benthamiana plant is a single chain containing 115 amino acids (molecular formula C586H865N165O164S12) and 6-His-tag at the N-terminal having the total molecular mass of 13.2kDa.

Protein Background

GDF8 is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. This group of proteins is characterized by a polybasic proteolytic processing site which is cleaved to produce a mature protein containing seven conserved cystei

Expression host

Nicotiana benthamiana plant

Synonyms

GDF-8, MSTN, Growth Differentiation Factor 8, MSTN Muscle Hypertrophy.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

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