| Description |
LECT1 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is. a single polypeptide chain containing 144 amino acids (214-334) and having a molecular mass of 16.3kDa. LECT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Leukocyte Cell Derived Chemotaxin 1, also known as LECT1, is a glycosylated transmembrane protein which is cleaved to form a mature, secreted protein. The mature protein encourages chondrocyte growth and inhibits angiogenesis. The mature protein takes part in endochondral bone development by permitting cartilaginous anlagen to be vascularized and replaced by bone. LECT1 is expressed in the avascular area of prehypertrophic cartilage and its expression reduces during vascular invasion and chondrocyte hypertrophy. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
BRICD3, CHM-I, CHM1, MYETS1, Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 1, Chondrosurfactant protein, CH-SP, Chondromodulin-1, ChM-I, LECT1. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear 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. |
