Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
NTS Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 172 amino acids (24-170 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 19.9kDa.NTS is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Neurotensin (NTS) is a common precursor for 2 peptides, neuromedin N and neurotensin. Neurotensin is a secreted tridecapeptide, which is generally distributed throughout the central nervous system, and may serve as a neurotransmitter or a neuromodulator. NTS is involved in dopamine-associated pathophysiological events, in the maintenance of gut structure and function, and in the regulation of fat metabolism. Tissue-specific processing may initiate the formation in some tissues of larger forms of neuromedin N and neurotensin. The large forms may embody more stable peptides which are also biologically active. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
NTS, Neurotensin, NT/N, NMN-125, NTS1, NN, Neurotensin/Neuromedin N, NT. |
| 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. |
