| Formulation |
NTS protein solution (1mg/ml) containing Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
NTS Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 134 amino acids (24-148) and having a molecular mass of 15.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 13.5-18kDa).NTS is fused to 6 amino acid His-Tag at C-terminus and 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. |
