CTF1 Mouse

Data sheet

Formulation

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

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CTF1 in sterile 4mM HCl to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at 0C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

CTF1 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 202 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21.3kDa.The CTF1 Mouse is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Cardiotrophin 1 (CT-1) is a 201 amino acid member of the interleukin-6 superfamily. It was identified by its ability to induce hypertrophic response in cardiac myocytes. CT-1 mRNA levels were found both in cardiac myocytes and in cardiac nonmyocytes. CT 1

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

CTF1, CT1, CT-1, Cardiophin 1.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized CTF1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CTF1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
