Name : Human AREG Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human AREG Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Ser101-Lys187.[Accession | P15514]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 37.3 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 45-50 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 AREG on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human AREG is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Human AREG, hFc Tag at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Biotinylated Anti-AREG Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 27.2ng/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
Amphiregulin (AREG) is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and is expressed in a plethora of cancers. Tumour growth and metastasis were decreased by AREG silencing in an orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer. AREG may play a critical role in cell migration, invasion, and EMT by activating the EGFR/ERK/NF‑κB signalling pathway in pancreatic cancer cells.

Synonyms :
Amphiregulin; AR; SDGF; AREG; AREGB; CRDGF; MGC13647
