Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-3 Human Recombinant ( CCL7 ) ( MCP 3 Human )

Data sheet

Formulation

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) sterile solution containing no additives.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-3in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-3 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 76 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9011 Dalton. The MCP-3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7) is a small cytokine known as a chemokine that was previously called monocyte-specific chemokine 3 (MCP3). Due to CCL7 possessing two adjacent N-terminal cysteine residues in its mature protein, it is classified among

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Small inducible cytokine A7, CCL7, Monocyte chemotactic protein 3, MCP-3, Monocyte chemoattractant protein 3, NC28, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7, FIC, MARC, MCP3, SCYA6, SCYA7, MGC138463, MGC138465.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized MCP-3 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CCL7 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

Amino acid sequence

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Gln-Pro-Val-Gly-Ile.

Biological Activity

The specific activity as determined by the ability of MCP-3 to chemoattract human peripheral blood at 8 - 80ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 12,500-125,000IU/mg.
