Name : Human R spondin 1/RSPO1 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human R spondin 1/RSPO1 Protein is expressed from CHO with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Arg31-Ala263.[Accession | Q2MKA7]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 27.3 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 38-42 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

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 R spondin 1 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. ELISA Data Immobilized Human R spondin 1, His Tag at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Anti-R spondin 1 Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 2.9ng/ml determined by ELISA (QC Test). ELISA Data Immobilized Human R spondin 1, His Tag at 5μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human RNF34, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 0.4μg/ml determined by ELISA. Cell Based Assay Measured by its ability to induce Topflash reporter activity in HEK293T human embryonic kidney cells. The ED50 for this effect is 1.0 – 10.0 ng/mL in the presence of 5 ng/mL recombinant Human Wnt Surrogate-Fc Fusion (WNT-HM23A) (QC Test).

Background :
The R-spondins are members of a superfamily of thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR-1)-containing proteins. The prototype member (discovered in 1971) was isolated from platelets that had been stimulated with thrombin, and was therefore designated ‘thrombin-sensitive protein.

Synonyms :
R-spondin-1; RSPO1; CRISTIN3; FLJ40906; RP11-566C13.1; RSPO; R-Spondin1
