NOV Human

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 20mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.6 and 150 mM NaCl.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NOV in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Nephroblastoma Overexpressed Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 331 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 36.2 kDa. The NOV is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Nephroblastoma Overexpressed (NOV) which is encoded by the NOV gene is a part of the CCN (CTGF/CYR61/NOV) family. NOV takes part in reducing tumorgenicity and proliferation of certain cancer cell lines. NOV interacts with numerous proteins and is involved

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Protein NOV homolog, NovH, CCN family member 3, nsulin-like growth factor-binding protein 9, IBP-9, IGF-binding protein 9, IGFBP-9, Nephroblastoma-overexpressed gene protein homolog, NOV, CCN3, IGFBP9, NOVH.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized NOV although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution NOV should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a car
