Name : Human EGF Protein
Product Source :
Recombinant Human EGF Protein is expressed from E.coli without tag. It contains Asn971-Arg1023.[Accession | P01133-1]
Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 5.6 kDa same as 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 EGF on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human EGF is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Human EGF, No Tag at 2μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human EGFR, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 0.82μg/ml determined by ELISA (QC Test). SPR Data Human EGFR, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Anti-His Antibody can bind Human EGF, No Tag with an affinity constant of 0.18 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200). Cell Based Assay Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Balb/C 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.1 – 0.2 ng/mL (QC Test).
Background :
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of peptides encodes several proteins that can function as growth factors. The EGF-like peptides, with the exception of proteins of the EGF-CFC subfamily, bind and activate tyrosine kinase receptors that belong to the erbB family.
Synonyms :
HOMG4; EGF; URG
