PSPN Human

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized PSPN in 4mM HCl 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

PSPN Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a disulfide-linked homodimer containing 2x96 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 20.5kDa. The PSPN is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Persephin is a member of the GDNF ligand subfamily of the TGF-beta superfamily. PSPN encourages the existence and growth of key dopaminergic and motor neurons, as well as taking part in kidney development. Nonetheless, persephin does not support existence

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Persephin, PSP, PSPN.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

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