NRTN Human

Data sheet

Formulation

NRTN protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in 30 mM Citrate Sodium, pH 4.2, 400 mM NaCl, with 0.02 % Tween-20.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NRTN in sterile 18M?-cm H2O not less than 0.5mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 96.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

NRTN Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric non-glycosylated polypeptide chains consisting of two 102 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23.4kDa.

Protein Background

NRTN belongs to the GDNF family of ligands, a distant member of the TGF-beta superfamily. NRTN, a ligand used to bind to GFRA2 receptors, signals through RET and a GPI-linked coreceptor, and promotes endurance of neuronal populations, controls the size of

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Neurturin.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized NRTN although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution NRTN 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 c
