| Description | MGP Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 98 amino acids (20-96) and having a molecular mass of 11.8 kDa.The MGP is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | MGP is vital for the regulation of calcification in the extracellular matrix, particularly in cartilage and arteries. The K-dependent vitamin MGP has five to six residues of Gla, a Ca2+ binding amino acid crucial for vitamin K-dependent gamma carboxylase for its formation. MGP is formed by COOH-terminal processing by carboxypeptidase B-like enzymatic activity and localized in the human bone. |
| Expression host | E.coli. |
| Synonyms | Matrix Gla protein, Cell growth-inhibiting gene 36 protein, MGLAP, NTI. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
