Anti-Noggin (NOG, Symphalangism 1 (Proximal), SYM1, Synostoses (Multiple) Syndrome 1, SYNS1)

Noggin is a secreted homodimer essential for cartilage morphogenesis and joint formation. It is an inhibitor of bone morphogenic proteins (BMP) signaling which is required for growth and patterning of the neural tube and somite. Defects in Noggin are a cause of symphalangism proximal syndrome (SYM1), of multiple synostoses syndrome 1 (SYNS1), of the tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome (TCC), of stapes ankylosis with broad thumb and toes, and of brachydactyly type B2 (BDB2). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile 40-50% glycerol, ddH2O. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. Aliquot and store at -20°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.
