E3410-01	Epidermal Growth Factor, Recombinant, Human (E. coli) (EGF)	500ug

Growth Factors, Cytokines

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 53aa and a molecular weight of 6.22kD. The sequence of the first five N-terminal aa was determined to be Asn-Ser-Asp-Ser-Glu. N-terminal methionine has been completely removed enzymatically. Contains less than 1% dimers and aggregates.

Source:
Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor expressed in E. coli.

Molecular weight: 6.22kD

Activity:
The ED50 calculated by the dose-dependent proliferation of murine Balb/c 3T3 cells (measured by 3H-thymidine uptake) is <0.1ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 1x10e7 Units/mg.

Endotoxin: 0.1 ng/ug

Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile deionized water to a concentration 100ug/ml. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Molecular Weight:
~6.22kD

Source: E. coli
Purity: 98% (HPLC, FPLC, SDS-PAGE).
Form: Supplied in lyophilized powder. No preservative added. Reconstitute with sterile deionized water to a concentration 100ug/ml.
