Catalog No. ABIN2468472

Product Details

Target: GDF3 (Growth Differentiation Factor 3 (GDF3))

Protein Type: Recombinant

Biological Activity: Active

Origin: Human

Source: Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Sequence: AAIPVPKLSC KNLCHRHQLF INFRDLGWHK WIIAPKGFMA NYCHGECPFS LTISLNSSNY AFMQALMHAV DPEIPQAVCI PTKLSPISML YQDNNDNVIL RHYEDMVVDE CGCG

Characteristics: Biological activity was determined by its ability to inhibit induced alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC - 5 chondrogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 100 - 150 ng/mL.

Purity: < 98 % by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin Level: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1 EU/μg).

Application Details

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Handling Advice: As with any protein, exposing GDF-3 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Storage: -20 °C

Storage Comment: The recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 °C. Reconstituted GDF-3 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20 °C.

Expiry Date: 24 months

Background: GDF-3 is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, and is highly homologous to GDF-9. Unlike most TGF-beta family members, GDF-3 and GDF-9 are not disulfide-linked dimers. GDF-3 is expressed in adult bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and adipose tissue. The expression of GDF-3 is upregulated in high-fat-fed wild-type FABP4/aP2 null mice and was associated with obesity, but not with the related hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia which characterizes Type 2 diabetes. Recombinant human GDF-3 is a 26.0 kDa non-disulfide-linked homodimer containing two 114 amino acid polypeptide chains.
