| Gene ID |
4838 |
| Accession | Q96S42 |
| Alternative Name | Nodal homolog |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E. coli |
| Description | Nodal, also known as Nodal homolog, is a secreted protein member of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. It is essential for the formation of mesoderm and axial patterning during early vertebrate embryonic development. |
| Accession | Q96S42 |
| Functions | 100 ng/mL phosphorylation activity as determined by its ability to induce Smad2 phosphorylation in P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered solution in Acetonitrile and TFA (with BSA as a carrier protein) |
| Solubility | Reconstitute in sterile 4mM HCl at 100μg/mL (containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin) |
| Appearance | Lyophilized Powder |
| Molecular Weight | 13.1 |
| Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Concentration | <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method |
| Shipping Condition | Ambient Temperature |
| Storage Condition | The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70?C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2? - 8?C for one month, or at -20?C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
