Cat no: 143342

GDF-2, Recombinant, Human (Growth/Differentiation Factor-2, BMP-9)

GDF-2 belongs to the TGF-beta cytokine family whose members play an important role during prenatal development and postnatal growth, remodeling and maintenance of a variety of tissues and organs. GDF-2 is expressed mainly in nonparenchymal cells of the liver, but is also found in other various cells and tissues.GDF-2 can signal through the ALK1 receptor and has been implicated in a number of physiologic events.These include regulation of the hepatic reticuloendothelial system, glucose homeostasis, and iron homeostasis, as well as the inhibition of angiogenesis. Recombinant human GDF-2 is a 24.1kD disulfide linked homodimeric protein consisting of two 110 amino acid polypeptide chains.\n\nBiological Activity:\nDetermined by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.5-1.9ng/ml.\n\nAA Sequence:\nSAGAGSHCQK TSLRVNFEDI GWDSWIIAPKE YEAYECKGGC FFPLADDVTPTK HAIVQTLVHL KFPTKVGKAC CVPTKLSPIS VLYKDDMGVP TLKYHYEGMS VAECGCR\n\nCrossreactivity:\nMouse\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.
