GDF-15 Protein (Primary Amine Labeling), Mouse, Recombinant (hFc), Biotinylated

Growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an inflammation-associated hormone with poorly defined biology. Here, we investigated the role of GDF15 in bacterial and viral infections. Inflammation induced GDF15, and that GDF15 was necessary for surviving both bacterial and viral infections, as well as sepsis. The protective effects of GDF15 were largely independent of pathogen control or the magnitude of inflammatory response, suggesting a role in disease tolerance.

Description

Species	Mouse
Expression System	HEK293
Tag	N-hFc
Accession Number	Q9Z0J7
Synonyms	RG-1, GDF15, Placental TGF-beta, GDF-15, PTGFBPTGF-beta, NAG-1, PTGFB, MIC-1, PLAB, PDF, MIC1, PTGFBPTGF-β, PTGF-beta, Placental TGF-β, PTGF-β
Construction	Recombinant Biotinylated Mouse GDF15 Protein (Primary Amine Labeling) is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Ser189-Ala303.[Accession \|Q9Z0J7]
Protein Purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE; > 95% as determined by HPLC
Molecular Weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 37.9 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-50 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution	Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Stability & Storage	-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -20 to -80°C for 3-6 months in unopened state after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping	In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
