ARMET, Recombinant, Human (Arginine-rich Mutated in Early Stage Tumors, Arginine-rich Protein, ARP, Mesencephalic Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor, MANF, MGC142148, MGC142150)

MANF is a secreted neurotrophic factor that is expressed in brain, neuronal and certain non-neuronal tissues. It has been shown to promote survival, growth and function of dopamine specific neurons. MANF and its structural homolog CDNF, each contain an N-terminal saposin-like lipid binding domain, and a carboxyl-terminal domain, which is not homologous to previously characterized protein structures. MANF and CDNF can prevent 6-OHDA induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons by triggering survival pathways in a rat experimental model of Parkinson disease. Recombinant human MANF is an 18.1kD protein consisting of 158aa including 8 cysteine residues.\n\nBiological Activity:\nDetermined by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of rat C6 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 15-25ug/ml.\n\nAA Sequence:\nLRPGDCEVCI SYLGRFYQDL KDRDVTFSPA TIENELIKFC REARGKENRL CYYIGATDDA ATKIINEVSK PLAHHIPVEK ICEKLKKKDS QICELKYDKQ IDLSTVDLKK LRVKELKKIL DDWGETCKGC AEKSDYIRKI NELMPKYAPK AASARTDL\n\nQuality Control:\nVerified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable).\n\nEndotoxin:\n<0.1ng/ug of protein (<1EU/ug).\n\nProtein Content:\nVerified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nStore lyophilized products at -20 degrees C. For reconstituted solutions of most products, we recommend short-term storage at 4 degrees C. For longer term storage the protein solution should be stored with a carrier protein (eg. 0.1% BSA) in working aliquots and stored frozen at -20 degrees C. Additional freeze/thaw cycles may cause some denaturation of the protein.
