ESGP (ES cell and germ cell-specific protein) is a presumably secreted polypeptide that belongs to no known protein family. It is expressed specifically in pluripotential cell types, and does not appear to be involved in differentiation. Mouse ESGP precursor is 84 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 25 aa signal sequence with a 59 aa mature segment. There are no N-linked glycosylation sites. One potential 108 aa variant shows an alternate start site 24 aa upstream of the standard start site.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Direct ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Direct ELISA: 0.5-1ug/mL detection limit for rmESGP ~ 0.2ng/well.
Western Blot: 0.1-1ug/mL
Immunocytochemistry: 10ug/mL
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. 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.
