Human Myostatin Protein

SKU: orb427247

Description

Recombinant of human Myostatin protein

Images & Validation

• Application Notes:
  Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.55 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of Myostatin as a Reference Standard

Key Properties

• Source: Escherichia Coli
• Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the inhibition of the proliferation of MPC-11 cells is < 20ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 50,000units/mg.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Protein Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Asp-Phe-Gly-Leu-Asp

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Stability: Lyophilized Myostatin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Myostatin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
