Name : Mouse PTN Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Mouse PTN Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Gly33-Asp168.[Accession | P63089]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 42.6 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 49-52 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 Mouse PTN on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Mouse PTN is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Background :
Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a secreted cell cytokine associated with the extracellular matrix and acts as a growth factor. PTN is mainly expressed in neuroectodermal and mesodermal tissues, indicating its effect in neuron migration and epithelium-mesenchyme interactions. Whereas PTN is associated with some neurodegenerative diseases and has modulating effects on them.

Synonyms :
Pleiotrophin; PTN; HBBM; HBGF-8; HB-GAM; HBNF; OSF-1; HARP; HBGF8; NEGF1HBGF-8; HBBN; OSF
