Biotinylated Human GDF-15 / MIC-1 Protein

• Catalog Number: orb1184782
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), also called Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 (MIC-1). Expression of MIC-1 mRNA in monocytoid cells is up-regulated by a variety of stimuli associated with activation, including interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 2, and macrophage colony-stimulating factor but not interferon γ, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It is highly expressed in cardiomyocytes, adipocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells in normal and pathological condition. GDF-15 increases during tissue injury and inflammatory states and is associated with cardiometabolic risk. Increased GDF-15 levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertrophy, heart failure, atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and chronic kidney diseases in diabetes. Increased GDF-15 level is linked with the progression and prognosis of the disease condition.

• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: This protein carries an Avi tag () at the N-terminus, followed by a human IgG1 Fc tag. The protein has a calculated MW of 40.4 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the protein migrates as 50-55 kDa under reducing (R) condition, and 80-90 kDa under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE).
• Expiration Date: 6 months from date of receipt.
