Recombinant Rat GRO/CXCL1 (rRtGRO/CXCL1)
Catalogue Numbers: PR3004-5, PR3004-25
Sizes: 5µg, 25µg
Source: Escherichia coli
Molecular Weight: 7.8 kDa, a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 72 amino acids.
Purity: >97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. Determined by its ability to chemoattract rat neutrophils using a concentration range of 10.0-100.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of >1 x 104 IU/mg.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl.
AA Sequence: APVANELRCQ CLQt VAGIHF KNIQSLKVMP PGPHCTQTEV IATLKNGREA
CLDPEAPMVQ KIVQKMLKGV PK
Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/mg of rRtGRO/CXCL1 as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage: This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. Made in China
Description: All three isoforms of GRO are CXC chemokines that can signal through the CXCR1 or CXCR2 receptors. The GRO proteins chemoattract and activate neutrophils and basophils. Recombinant rat GRO/KC is a 7.8 kDa protein consisting of 72 amino acids including the 'ELR' motif common to the CXC chemokine family that bind to CXCR1 or CXCR2.
