| Formulation |
METRN protein solution (0.25mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
METRN produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 276 amino acids (22-291 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 30.2kDa (Migrates at 28-40kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions). METRN is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Meteorin (METRN) is involved in both glial cell differentiation and axonal network formation during neurogenesis. METRN promotes astrocyte differentiation and transforms cerebellar astrocytes into radial glia. Moreover, the METRN protein stimulates axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia. |
| Expression host |
Sf9, Baculovirus cells. |
| Synonyms |
Meteorin, Hypoxia/reoxygenation regulatory factor, Metrn, 1810034B16Rik, Hyrac. |
| 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. |
