Growth/differentiation factor 8 (MSTN), cat, recombinant

Organism: Felis catus (Cat) (Felis silvestris catus). Source: Mammalian cell. Expression Region: 19-375aa. Protein Length: Full Length of Mature Protein. Tag Info: N-terminal 10xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: GPVDLNENSE QKENVEKEGL CNACTWRQNT KSSRIEAIKI QILSKLRLET APNISKDAIR QLLPKAPPLR ELIDQYDVQR DDSSDGSLED DDYHATTETI ITMPTESDLL MQVEGKPKCC FFKFSSKIQY NKVVKAQLWI YLRPVKTPTT VFVQILRLIK PMKDGTRYTG IRSLKLDMNP GTGIWQSIDV KTVLQNWLKQ PESNLGIEIK ALDENGHDLA VTFPGPGEDG LNPFLEVKVT DTPKRSRRDF GLDCDEHSTE SRCCRYPLTV DFEAFGWDWI IAPKRYKANY CSGECEFVFL QKYPHTHLVH QANPRGSAGP CCTPTKMSPI NMLYFNGKEQ IIYGKIPAMV VDRCGCS. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth.
