CTF1 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 CTF1 in sterile 4mM HCl not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Description

Cardiotrophin-1 Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 203 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21.4kDa.The CTF1 Rat 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

Cardiotrophin-1, CT-1, Ctf1.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized Cardiotrophin-1 Rat although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CTF1 Rat should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycle
