GRO-beta/MIP-2 Rat Recombinant ( CXCL2 ) ( GRO b Rat )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Solubility

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

Purity

Greater than 99.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

GRO-Beta Rat Recombinant also called Rat MIP-2 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 73 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7923 Dalton. The GRO-b is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also called macrophage inflammatory protein 2-alpha (MIP2-alpha), Growth-regulated protein beta (Gro-beta) and Gro oncogene-2 (Gro-2). CXCL2 is 90%

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized GRO-b although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CXCL2 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
