- Handling Advice
- Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1~1.0 mg/mL, and keep pH at acidic condition below 5.0 Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (e.g. 0.1 % BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20 °C to -80 °C
- Storage
- -80 °C
- Storage Comment
- Store at -80°C. Thaw on ice, aliquot to individual single-use tubes, and then re-freeze immediately. Only 2-3 freeze thaw cycles are recommended.

- Background
- This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein plays a role in the development of the nervous and other organ systems, and may regulate aging.
