Name : Human MCP-1/CCL2 Protein
Product Source :
Recombinant Human MCP-1/CCL2 is expressed from HEK293 with His tag and Avi tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Gln24-Thr99.[Accession | P13500]
Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 11.5 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 15-20 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.
Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC
Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human MCP-1 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human MCP-1 is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.
Background :
Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) (also referred to as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is expressed by mainly inflammatory cells and endothelial cells. MCP-1 has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and considerable evidence supports that the monocyte containing MCPs and macrophage influences the growth of other cell types within the atherosclerotic lesion. This review will focus on the general structure features of MCP-1 and its role in atherosclerosis.
Synonyms :
C-C motif chemokine 2; CCL2; HC11; MCAF; MCP-1; HSMCR30; MCP1; SCYA2; SMC-CF; GDCF-2
