| Formulation |
NENF was filtered (0.4um) and lyophilized from 0.5mg/ml in 0.05M phosphate buffer and 0.075M NaCl, pH 7.4. |
| Solubility |
It is recommended to add 200ul deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5 mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. NENF is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
NENF Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (aa 32-172) containing 151 amino acids including a 10 a.a N-terminal His tag. |
| Protein Background |
Neudesin Neurotrophic Factor (NENF) is a member of the cytochrome b5 family, MAPR subfamily. NENF contains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain. NENF exhibits neurotrophic activity and activates phosphorylation of MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1 and AKT1/AKT in primary cultured neurons. NENF doesnt have mitogenic activity in primary cultured astrocytes. NENF may play a part in neuronal differentiation and may have a transient influence on neural cell proliferation in neural precursor cells. NENF neurotrophic activity is increased by binding to heme. NENF is up-regulated in immortal cells and induced in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer expressing progesterone receptor. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Neudesin, Cell immortalization-related protein 2, Neuron-derived neurotrophic factor, Secreted protein of unknown function, SPUF protein, NENF, CIR2, SPUF, SCIRP10. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability |
Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C. |
