TDGF1/Cripto Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

TDGF1 (CRIPTO) is a member of the epidermal growth factor-Cripto-1/FRL-1/Cryptic (EGF/CFC) gene family and an obligate co-receptor involved in NODAL signaling, a developmental program implicated in midline, forebrain, and left-right axis development in model organisms. Cripto-1 is enriched in a subpopulation of embryonal, melanoma, prostate, and pancreatic cancer cells that possess stem-like characteristics. Therefore, Cripto-1 may play a role during developmental EMT, and it may also be involved in the reprogramming of differentiated tumor cells into cancer stem cells through the induction of an EMT program.

Description

Species	Human
Expression System	HEK293
Tag	C-His
Accession Number	P13385
Synonyms	TDGF1, Cripto, CR, CRGF
Construction	Recombinant Human TDGF1/Cripto Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Leu31-Thr172.[Accession \|P13385]
Protein Purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE
Molecular Weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 16.92 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 23-30 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from 0.22 μm 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.
