Growth Factors, Cytokines

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

Recombinant human GDF-5 produced in E. coli is a homodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing two 117aa and having a total molecular mass of 26.8kD.
To enable bacterial expression of rhGDF-5 we removed the N-terminal sequence Ala-Pro-Leu-Thr and added the Lysine.

Endotoxin: <0.1EU/ug (LAL)

Biological Activity:
Human GDF-5 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50, determined by the ability to induce alkaline phosphatase activity in ATDC5 cells is 20-30ng/ml.
