Matrix Gla Protein Human Recombinant ( MGP Human )

Data sheet

Formulation

The MGP solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and 10% glycerol.

Purity

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

MGP Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 98 amino acids (20-96) and having a molecular mass of 11.8 kDa.The MGP is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chroma

Protein Background

MGP is vital for the regulation of calcification in the extracellular matrix, particularly in cartilage and arteries. The K-dependent vitamin MGP has five to six residues of Gla, a Ca2+ binding amino acid crucial for vitamin K-dependent gamma carboxylase

Expression host

E.coli.

Synonyms

Matrix Gla protein, Cell growth-inhibiting gene 36 protein, MGLAP, NTI.

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.
